It was because they are the MAJORITY in the urban areas where it was spreading, and they kept having block parties with all that free government money. The media/gov intentionally ignored population concentrations in hard-hit areas, instead reporting those cases over the entire population and areas where the virus was nonexistent.
Death rates in the US are much higher in Black and Hispanic communities. I don't buy the sunshine argument.
Roughly speaking, Black deaths where covid was 1 factor are about 1000, Hispanic 800 and white non-hispanic around 500 per million population. The US average right now is 608 per million.
It might have nothing to do with race. A good example is New York's screw-up by sending sick people to nursing homes for treatment. It's likely those community nursing homes contained more Black and Hispanic people. In general big cities had more deaths for covid positive people, and the demographics for big inner-city areas tends to be less white, and those areas are more densely populated which allows for more spread.
Compare obesity rates between blacks in the USA and blacks in Africa. Obesity that comes along with a whole host of respiratory and circulatory weaknesses that make up the most common comorbidities with COVID deaths.
It ain't the sunshine, it's the booze and junk food.
They also totally ignored the quarantine. The minutes things started getting shut down, 100% of foot traffic became black around here. Not to mention the block parties
This is probably most of the explanation. There's a study out about nasal shape and increased upper respiratory disease susceptibility, but it's probably 90% "there are just more people in smaller spaces."
Could it be there are fewer coronavirus deaths in Africa because clinics still get more money from AIDS deaths than coronavirus deaths so when someone gets gored by a hippo the death gets recorded ad AIDS instead of corona?
Fuck the medical community for being silent on this. They know the reason for low or no corona virus cases in africa is because of malaria medication (hydrochloroquine) and noone has spoken up about it being an effective treatment/cure for corona. Now they want to cry about people not coming in for their appointments and routine treatments and losing business. I hear ads on the radio near me from medical professionals “ please come back for your appointments, i swear we are safe” “ were taking extra precautions for your safety” sorry doc. Youre an asshole for not speaking up publicly and helping to quell the hysteria so people do not trust you anymore.
Also doesn't have many fat people, and has so many other endemic diseases far worse than COVID that people with weak immune systems or pre-existing conditions that would make them vulnerable to it are mostly already dead.
The biggest factor of why covid virus is so bad in usa is age like you said but also how healthy americans are. There are a lot of smokers/obese people who will be effected by it more then people who are in shape/healthy.
Yes. Fuck them. For how much they like to prescribe pills, the one time it would actually help people they don’t. The medical community needs to unfuck themselves from big pharma.
Probably a lot less testing than anywhere else, just like Chyna. My guess is, when the random animal walking down the street can kill you in an instant, and you were already starving or malnourished before this, your immediate concerns aren't some virus that could kill you if you're in that unlucky 0.28%
"Hydroxychloroquine is Effective and Safe for the Treatment of COVID-19, and May be Universally Effective When Used Early Before Hospitalization: A Systematic Review."
May be Universally Effective When Used Early Before Hospitalization
This is the big distinction. When they stand up there and tell us there's no proof it works or, better yet, quote studies that say it's completely ineffective, they're always looking at its use as a cure for people on respirators or in serious condition in the hospital. They ignore the fact that its effectiveness is best the earlier you get it.
“Scientists” more like propagandists because anyone with common sense and some online research will link Africa , malaria and HCQ. These “scientists” must have really low iq.
Not to mention their governments not trusting the WHO and keeping them out. One of the presidents sent them things like mango, goat, oil, and other crazy stuff and the WHO said they all tested positive for Rona.
Tbh it's mostly because the overwhelming majority of severe COVID cases involve the elderly, very obese, and those with preexisting heart/respiratory weaknesses. In sub-Saharan Africa the median age is about 19 and the obesity rate is in the low single digits, and anyone with a weak immune system is already dead of something else. Africa is not a continent of old, fat, hypertensive diabetics.
option A) the hitler drug is widely available and isn't actually hitler and actually works and we were wrong as usual
option B) the virus doesn't effect black people as harshly as others (oh wait we already ran propaganda saying it targets them more can't use this fuck we're so retarded)
option C) Africa has better health care than the US (lol)
option D) fuck you you're hitler and you're racist fucking bigot blockedbanneddeletedcancelled
Africa doesn't have a lot of 5G cellphone towers, does it? That MUST be it, since it can't be that widely taken medicines and easily-maxed vitamin D are the case!
Also the only continent not gripped by a 24 hour news cycle and smart phones. If this shit had happened in the 80s, we literally never would have even known about it. Without social media there would have been no way to set up and enforce a nationwide lockdown like happened. You would have just turned on the news and heard "Experts advise caution this year as a new flu-like virus is going around," and that would have been the end of it.
Another thing Africa having few deaths shows is that the virus basically only kills 80 year olds and up, which isn't going to have much impact in a continent where life expectancy is in the 60s.
There are several factors that would benefit Africa. For example, hot climate and people are actually outside in the heat more and lack of air conditioning to circulate the air. Even if you live in a hot place here, you probably shelter indoor with air conditioning.
You mean that super cheap Malaria drug that is used to treat the rampant Malaria in Africa? The one the military makes you take before, during, and after a trip there? Even though people of African decent are apparently more susceptible to the China Virus, and having Sickle Cell makes it even deadlier? Clearly its witchcraft then.
And they also say that black people are harmed more by the virus than white people . . .
because black people can't get enough sun in northern climates to produce enough vitamin D.
I mean racism
Damnit now we need to cancel racist Sun.
I’d chip in on a crowd fund to send BLM to protest the Sun.
Remember that Adam Sandler skit about cults? "If they say fuck they sun, you go yeah, fuck the sun!"
DEFUND NATURE!
Quick! Fire all the nukes into Sol! That'll show that giant burning ball of nuclear energy!
Solar systemic racism.
I thought it was because minorities use medicare/ medicaid the most, and socialized medicine is generally a death sentence..
It was because they are the MAJORITY in the urban areas where it was spreading, and they kept having block parties with all that free government money. The media/gov intentionally ignored population concentrations in hard-hit areas, instead reporting those cases over the entire population and areas where the virus was nonexistent.
The sun is racist!
BUT MUH MELANIN!!!
Holy crap, that makes way, waaaay to much sense.
You mean to tell me that a racist virus is completely ignoring the motherland?! How can this be?!

It ain't the sunshine, it's the booze and junk food.
Yup. Many factors that increase death rates other than sunshine.
They also totally ignored the quarantine. The minutes things started getting shut down, 100% of foot traffic became black around here. Not to mention the block parties
I’m sure there are cultural differences how people listen to local authorities.
This was planned for months.
This is probably most of the explanation. There's a study out about nasal shape and increased upper respiratory disease susceptibility, but it's probably 90% "there are just more people in smaller spaces."
I am starting to think this- and the 'more black women die in [insert here] than white women' is racist bullshit too.
I see FAT and Elderly people dying of this-

I'm sure hydroxyqloriquine is a factor.
The bigger factor IMO is that Africa doesn't have many old people, the median age is 19.7, so over 50% of the population is under 20.
In the US, the Median age is 37.4 and 25.3% of the population is under 20.
Also doesn't have many fat people, and has so many other endemic diseases far worse than COVID that people with weak immune systems or pre-existing conditions that would make them vulnerable to it are mostly already dead.
And not many flights too. Any airline hub usually will have more corona

Yes. Fuck them. For how much they like to prescribe pills, the one time it would actually help people they don’t. The medical community needs to unfuck themselves from big pharma.
There were no pharma reps pimping out hydroxychloriquine. Why would any doctor prescribe it if there's no jackpot bonus?
Yes. Just ask a doctor how many lunches he’s had paid for, or how many free pens he’s been given and you’ll know why.
It's the "continuing education" sponsored by Remdesivir!
I'd also venture to guess hospitals aren't getting PAID to report cases down there, either.
Probably a lot less testing than anywhere else, just like Chyna. My guess is, when the random animal walking down the street can kill you in an instant, and you were already starving or malnourished before this, your immediate concerns aren't some virus that could kill you if you're in that unlucky 0.28%
This is pretty accurate. Sub-Saharan Africa is such an unforgiving place that a disease with a sub-1% CFR is barely noticeable.
The majority of Africa is not like that
There are specific places in Africa which are not like all of those things, but I would not say the majority is not like that.
Because it’s the Malaria epicenter of the world and HCQ stops malaria.

Don't forget to take Vitamins D every day, and Zinc too, regardless of your COVID situation.

Naw, not low IQ, just a low purchase price. Low morals to back it up.
Not to mention their governments not trusting the WHO and keeping them out. One of the presidents sent them things like mango, goat, oil, and other crazy stuff and the WHO said they all tested positive for Rona.
And people with preexisting conditions were already dead before covid
Don't have to worry about the 'rona killing grandma when she already died of ebola, starvation, AIDS or ethnic cleansing at the ripe old age of 43.
Less TV
There's also no political motivation to lock them down.
This is the correct answer.
Tbh it's mostly because the overwhelming majority of severe COVID cases involve the elderly, very obese, and those with preexisting heart/respiratory weaknesses. In sub-Saharan Africa the median age is about 19 and the obesity rate is in the low single digits, and anyone with a weak immune system is already dead of something else.

That's Gold, Jerry, Gold!
HCQ and other malaria drugs are widely available in Africa for obvious reasons. Africans are smart enough to know a cure when they see one.
THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED! BELIEVE ALL SCIENTISTS!!!!!!!!
I definitely think the BCG vaccine for TB that's pretty common in Africa has also attributed to this, that and the younger population.
well to be fair they have to deal with fucking malaria and AIDS so the coronavirus is the least of their fucking problems.
This post is GOLD!
Tucker was showing her speech last night, again. You know, the same one that's been eliminated from Facebook, Twitter, etc?
Bill Gates and his pharma lobby: "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
option A) the hitler drug is widely available and isn't actually hitler and actually works and we were wrong as usual
option B) the virus doesn't effect black people as harshly as others (oh wait we already ran propaganda saying it targets them more can't use this fuck we're so retarded)
option C) Africa has better health care than the US (lol)
option D) fuck you you're hitler and you're racist fucking bigot blocked banned deleted cancelled
you have selected option D
Liberal pols have reduced our health care system to sub-Sub-Saharan Africa levels.
im so sick of this corona bullshit.
That's not it.
No television; that's why.
Africa doesn't have a lot of 5G cellphone towers, does it? That MUST be it, since it can't be that widely taken medicines and easily-maxed vitamin D are the case!

Also the country where people spend the most time outside.
Or why the sky is blue.
Was that one of the doctors who spoke about Hydroxychloroquine in Washington, and then was trashed by the media?
Also - Lots of Vitamin D from the Sun, which is a major factor.
I think the average age is very low as well though, so not as many elderly waiting for a puff of air to knock them over.
Well that and they have no testing capability
There are several factors that would benefit Africa. For example, hot climate and people are actually outside in the heat more and lack of air conditioning to circulate the air. Even if you live in a hot place here, you probably shelter indoor with air conditioning.
You mean that super cheap Malaria drug that is used to treat the rampant Malaria in Africa? The one the military makes you take before, during, and after a trip there? Even though people of African decent are apparently more susceptible to the China Virus, and having Sickle Cell makes it even deadlier? Clearly its witchcraft then.
It is because most the Countries in Africa are already Communist and in on it.
Either it's the HCQ or else everyone susceptible had already died of other things. Average age in Africa can't be that high
or they are too poor to even get tested
