What Is Increasing Deaths Among African Americans From COVID-19 Is Racism by MaximusL: 3:03am On Oct 23, 2020
Those higher death rates among older African Americans have been attributed to their higher rates of underlying conditions such as asthma, obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and coronary artery disease. And those disparities didn’t suddenly appear in old age — racial disparities in health and death begin to show up in African Americans in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. on the surface, it seems reasonable to attribute the disproportionate number of COVID-19 deaths among older African Americans to their underlying health conditions. But the most significant underlying condition that increases their chances of dying from COVID-19 is racism.
