Everyone does. I try to only have smart ones, but there's always a number of them that become dumb. It's annoying.

To be fair, the same cannot be said about our current POTUS.

So, I haven't seen this thread before, but NYT has an interesting story about how black people are getting HAMMERED by Covid in NY, NOLA, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Chicago - roughly 25% of population, and 70% of Covid cases.
I'm just asking the questions:
Do black people more commonly have the ACE2 gene alternate (not sure if that's anywhere near the correct way to put it) which makes people more susceptible?
Do black people have higher rates of obesity and asthma?
Do black people have higher poverty rates that push them into mass transit and crowded housing?
Are black people more likely to work in jobs (housekeeping, fast food, gas stations, etc) which expose them to Covid? What comes to mind is that I'm pretty sure the dude tweeting from his corona-yacht in "isolation" in the Caribbean was a white guy.

We would need the cross-tabs by race and wealth.
My default assumption is always poverty. Poverty kills in all sorts of ways (lack of access to competent medical facilities, lack of information, lack of choices in general, poorer diet, greater stress, likelihood of exacerbating medical history). And we color-code our poor, just to be funny!
It could be genetic like sickle-cell, but unless there's compelling evidence I'm going to go with the old American stand-by: murder by laissez faire.

Just looking at statewide obesity, poverty rate, there is almost zero correlation. But if you look at Gini vs cases and deaths, there's a much stronger relationship.
