Live in here in ATL. Yes, more AA are dying at higher numbers than whites. I think I read about AA deaths in NYC too. Already, people of color are disadvantaged for socio-economic and heredity reasons (diabetes, heart, COPD, etc.) that make them more susceptible to this virus. Your mind can’t help but wander to a sinister thought that would allow this to run like fire through minority communities.
