I’m pretty sure I already had #coronavirus #COVID19 in late November/early December. Felt just like flu, but the fever was worse and by the 3rd day I could barely breathe. Took mucinex which helped, and vitamin c. Lasted almost 5 days and it was the worst “flu” I’ve ever had

THE COLOR OF CORONAVIRUS:
COVID-19 DEATHS BY RACE AND ETHNICITY IN THE U.S.

by APM RESEARCH LAB STAFF | AUGUST 5, 2020 | Next update Aug. 19

Our ongoing Color of Coronavirus project monitors how and where COVID-19 mortality is inequitably impacting certain communities—to guide policy and community responses to these disproportionate deaths. The coronavirus has claimed more than 155,000 American lives through Aug. 4, 2020—nearly 14,000 more than our last update two weeks ago, or averaging about 1,000 deaths per day. We know the race and ethnicity for 93% of the cumulative deaths in the United States.

Our latest update reveals continued wide disparities by race, most dramatically for Black and Indigenous Americans. We also now adjust these mortality rates for age, a common and important tool that health researchers use to compare diseases that affect age groups differently. This results in even larger mortality disparities observed between Black, Indigenous, and other populations of color relative to Whites, who experience the lowest age-adjusted rates nationally.

See our work cited in Forbes, CNN, NBC News, Vox, JAMA, Politico, Newsweek, Al Jazeera, the Washington Post, The Hill, The Guardian, the New York Times and numerous other outlets.
The APM Research Lab has independently compiled these death statistics. (Learn more about how). The result is the most robust and up-to-date portrait of COVID-19 mortality by race available anywhere, with a lens on inequitable deaths. We have been tracking these deaths for four months now, revealing COVID-19’s growing toll on all Americans, but with the heaviest losses among Black and Indigenous Americans. In addition, Pacific Islanders and Latinos have seen the sharpest rise in their mortality rates during the past two weeks, as shown below.
KEY FINDINGS (data collected through Aug. 4):
Overall, actual American death rates from COVID-19 data (aggregated from all states and the District of Columbia) have reached new highs for all race groups:

1 in 1,250 Black Americans has died (or 80.4 deaths per 100,000)

1 in 1,500 Indigenous Americans has died (or 66.8 deaths per 100,000)

1 in 1,700 Pacific Islander Americans has died (or 58.7 deaths per 100,000)

1 in 2,200 Latino Americans has died (or 45.8 deaths per 100,000)

1 in 2,800 White Americans has died (or 35.9 deaths per 100,000)

1 in 3,000 Asian Americans has died (or 33.1 deaths per 100,000)

Black Americans continue to experience the highest overall actual COVID-19 mortality rates— more than twice as high as the rate for Whites and Asians, who have the lowest actual rates.

If they had died of COVID-19 at the same actual
rate as White Americans, about 18,000 Black,
6,000 Latino, 600 Indigenous, and 70 Pacific Islander Americans would still be alive.
Adjusting the data for age differences in race groups widens the gap in the overall mortality rates between all other groups and Whites, who have the lowest rate. Compared to Whites, the latest U.S. age-adjusted COVID-19 mortality rate for:

Blacks is 3.7 times as high

Indigenous people is 3.5 times as high

Pacific Islanders is 3.1 times as high

Latinos is 2.8 times as high

Asians is 1.4 times as high.
HOW TO EXAMINE THE DATA:
1. EXPLORE FINDINGS BY STATE OR FOR THE NATION
We’ve presented the data we’ve collected for the nation overall and each state as:

Actual mortality rates expressed per 100,000;

Indirectly age-adjusted mortality rates per 100,000; and as

Total deaths experienced by group.

If you’d like to examine the percentage of deaths compared to the percentage of population by racial group for each state (which previously appeared on this site), you can find this data in our complete data file.


2. EXPLORE FINDINGS BY GROUP
Select a group below to examine the differences by racial or ethnic group for all states with available data. For each group, we present total lives lost, actual and age-adjusted mortality rates, and a comparison against White Americans’ rates using the age-adjusted data, to examine where disparities relative to Whites are the greatest.

INDIGENOUS AMERICANS | ASIAN AMERICANS | BLACK AMERICANS | LATINO AMERICANS |
WHITE AMERICANS | NATIVE HAWAIIAN & OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICANS
For more context about the shortcomings of some of the data, please read our note about Indigenous, Pacific Islander, Multiracial and Other Race Americans.

UNDERSTANDING AGE-ADJUSTED MORTALITY RATES
While there are many features of the novel coronavirus that are still unclear, this we know with certainty: The risk of dying from COVID-19 rises sharply with advanced age. About 2 in 100,000 Americans under age 45 have died from the virus, according to data submitted to the CDC through July 29. The COVID-19 death rate for Americans age 45-54 rises to 17 per 100,000; roughly doubles among those age 55-64 (39 per 100,000); and more than doubles among those age 65-74 (93 per 100,000). Among Americans age 75 and older, the death toll exceeds 365 people per 100,000, as shown below.
Due to this steep age gradient to COVID-19 mortality, it is important to consider the varying age distributions of America’s racial and ethnic groups. A higher share of White Americans are in the older age brackets than any other group. To illustrate this, consider that the median age of non-Hispanic White Americans is 44 years, according to the latest Census Bureau data. The comparable figure for all populations of color is considerably lower—for Asians (37), Blacks (34), Pacific Islanders (33), Indigenous (32) and especially Latinos (30).

Even within the same race groups, the age distribution varies—with retirement destination states such as Florida having a much higher share of older adults within their White population, for example.


Black, Indigenous, Pacific Islander and Latino Americans all have a COVID-19 death rate of roughly triple or more White Americans (age-adjusted).

So, to remove the role of age differences from COVID-19 mortality rates, we have also produced age-adjusted rates. Because mortality data is not available for all states by race and age jointly (which is preferred), we have used indirect standardization to calculate these rates. See our NOTES section for details and cautions about our method.

Adjusting the racial data we’ve collected for age differences increases the COVID-19 mortality rate for all racial and ethnic groups except for Whites, who experience a decrease, as shown below.
While Black Americans continue to experience the highest COVID-19 mortality rate after age-adjusting, doing so also widens the gap between Black and White mortality—from 2.2 to 3.7 times as high. Mortality rates for Indigenous people rise to 3.5 times as high as Whites’ mortality impact. Rates for Latinos and Pacific Islanders also rise substantially, to 3.1 and 2.8 times as high as Whites, respectively. Finally, the Asian mortality rate—which was slightly below the White rate—rises well above the White death rate (1.4 times as high), when age is taken into account. Put another way, Black, Indigenous, Pacific Islander and Latino Americans all have COVID-19 death rates of roughly triple or more the rates of White Americans (age-adjusted).

What does this mean? It indicates that many younger Americans who are Black, Indigenous or other people of color are dying of COVID-19—driving their mortality rates far above White Americans’. Despite their relative youthfulness (a protective factor against COVID), their death rates are elevated. As Brookings Institution has reported, “In every age category, Black people are dying from COVID at roughly the same rate as White people more than a decade older.”

Depending on the community, this may be due to numerous, reinforcing factors related to a higher likelihood of contracting the virus—such as greater workplace exposures, including inability to work from home or no access to sick days; living in geographic areas, housing arrangements including congregate settings (such as nursing homes, group homes, treatment centers, correctional facilities), or accessing public transportation where the virus is more easily spread. It also results from poorer outcomes after acquiring COVID-19—such as resulting from less access to testing; higher presence of underlying health conditions like diabetes, hypertension and asthma; and receiving delayed or poorer medical care, perhaps because they lack health insurance or distrust health providers or they are receiving inferior care. The racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality—due to these compounding, elevated risks from our systems of housing, labor force, health care, and policy responses—are what is termed systemic racism.

It is important to note that, while age-adjusted mortality rates help us remove age as a confounding factor so we can compare the impact of other differences among race groups, they are not the actual mortality rates experienced by these groups.

Among the myriad, earth-shattering geopolitical effects of coronavirus, one is already graphically evident. China has re-positioned itself. For the first time since the start of Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in 1978, Beijing openly regards the US as a threat, as stated a month ago by Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference during the peak of the fight against coronavirus.

Beijing is carefully, incrementally shaping the narrative that, from the beginning of the coronovirus attack, the leadership knew it was under a hybrid war attack. Xi’s terminology is a major clue. He said, on the record, that this was war. And, as a counter-attack, a “people’s war” had to be launched.

Moreover, he described the virus as a demon or devil. Xi is a Confucianist. Unlike some other ancient Chinese thinkers, Confucius was loath to discuss supernatural forces and judgment in the afterlife. However, in a Chinese cultural context, devil means “white devils” or “foreign devils”: guailo in Mandarin, gweilo in Cantonese. This was Xi delivering a powerful statement in code.

When Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, voiced in an incandescent tweet the possibility that “it might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan” – the first blast to this effect to come from a top official – Beijing was sending up a trial balloon signaliing that the gloves were finally off. Zhao Lijian made a direct connection with the Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019, which included a delegation of 300 US military.

He directly quoted US CDC director Robert Redfield who, when asked last week whether some deaths by coronavirus had been discovered posthumously in the US, replied that “some cases have actually been diagnosed this way in the US today.”

Zhao’s explosive conclusion is that Covid-19 was already in effect in the US before being identified in Wuhan – due to the by now fully documented inability of US to test and verify differences compared with the flu.

Adding all that to the fact that coronavirus genome variations in Iran and Italy were sequenced and it was revealed they do not belong to the variety that infected Wuhan, Chinese media are now openly asking questions and drawing a connection with the shutting down in August last year of the “unsafe” military bioweapon lab at Fort Detrick, the Military Games, and the Wuhan epidemic. Some of these questions had been asked – with no response – inside the US itself.

Extra questions linger about the opaque Event 201 in New York on October 18, 2019: a rehearsal for a worldwide pandemic caused by a deadly virus – which happened to be coronavirus. This magnificent coincidence happened one month before the outbreak in Wuhan.

Event 201 was sponsored by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum (WEF), the CIA, Bloomberg, John Hopkins Foundation and the UN. The World Military Games opened in Wuhan on the exact same day.

Irrespective of its origin, which is still not conclusively established, as much as Trump tweets about the “Chinese virus,” Covid-19 already poses immensely serious questions about biopolitics (where’s Foucault when we need him?) and bio-terror.

The working hypothesis of coronavirus as a very powerful but not Armageddon-provoking bio-weapon unveils it as a perfect vehicle for widespread social control – on a global scale.

Cuba rises as a biotech power

Just as a fully masked Xi visiting the Wuhan frontline last week was a graphic demonstration to the whole planet that China, with immense sacrifice, is winning the “people‘s war” against Covid-19, Russia, in a Sun Tzu move on Riyadh whose end result was a much cheaper barrel of oil, helped for all practical purposes to kick-start the inevitable recovery of the Chinese economy. This is how a strategic partnership works.

The chessboard is changing at breakneck speed. Once Beijing identified coronavirus as a bio-weapon attack the “people’s war” was launched with the full force of the state. Methodically. On a “whatever it takes” basis. Now we are entering a new stage, which will be used by Beijing to substantially recalibrate the interaction with the West, and under very different frameworks when it comes to the US and the EU.

Soft power is paramount. Beijing sent an Air China flight to Italy carrying 2,300 big boxes full of masks bearing the script, “We are waves from the same sea, leaves from the same tree, flowers from the same garden.” China also sent a hefty humanitarian package to Iran, significantly aboard eight flights from Mahan Air – an airline under illegal, unilateral Trump administration sanctions.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic could not have been more explicit:

“The only country that can help us is China. By now, you all understood that European solidarity does not exist. That was a fairy tale on paper.”

Under harsh sanctions and demonized since forever, Cuba is still able to perform breakthroughs – even on biotechnology. The anti-viral Heberon – or Interferon Alpha 2b – a therapeutic, not a vaccine, has been used with great success in the treatment of coronavirus. A joint venture in China is producing an inhalable version, and at least 15 nations are already interested in importing the therapeutic.

Now compare all of the above with the Trump administration offering $1 billion to poach German scientists working at biotech firm Curevac, based in Thuringia, on an experimental vaccine against Covid-19, to have it as a vaccine “only for the United States.”

Social engineering psy-op?

Sandro Mezzadra, co-author with Brett Neilson of the seminal The Politics of Operations: Excavating Contemporary Capitalism, is already trying to conceptualize where we stand now in terms of fighting Covid-19.

We are facing a choice between a Malthusian strand – inspired by social Darwinism – “led by the Johnson-Trump-Bolsonaro axis” and, on the other side, a strand pointing to the “requalification of public health as a fundamental tool,” exemplified by China, South Korea and Italy. There are key lessons to be learned from South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore.

The stark option, Mezzadra notes, is between a “natural population selection,” with thousands of dead, and “defending society” by employing “variable degrees of authoritarianism and social control.” It’s easy to imagine who stands to benefit from this social re-engineering, a 21st century remix of Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death.

Amid so much doom and gloom, count on Italy to offer us Tiepolo-style shades of light. Italy chose the Wuhan option, with immensely serious consequences for its already fragile economy. Quarantined Italians remarkably reacted by singing on their balconies: a true act of metaphysical revolt.

Not to mention the poetic justice of the actual St. Corona (“crown” in Latin) being buried in the city of Anzu since the 9th century. St. Corona was a Christian killed under Marcus Aurelius in 165 AD, and has been for centuries one of the patron saints of pandemics.

Not even trillions of dollars raining from the sky by an act of divine Fed mercy were able to cure Covid-19. G-7 “leaders” had to resort to a videoconference to realize how clueless they are – even as China’s fight against coronavirus gave the West a head start of several weeks.

Shanghai-based Dr. Zhang Wenhong, one of China’s top infectious disease experts, whose analyses have been spot on so far, now says China has emerged from the darkest days in the “people’s war” against Covid-19. But he does not think this will be over by summer. Now extrapolate what he’s saying to the Western world.

It’s not even spring yet, and we already know it takes a virus to mercilessly shatter the Goddess of the Market. Last Friday, Goldman Sachs told no fewer than 1,500 corporations that there was no systemic risk. That was false.

New York banking sources told me the truth: systemic risk became way more severe in 2020 than in 1979, 1987 or 2008 because of the hugely heightened danger that the $1.5 quadrillion derivative market would collapse.

As the sources put it, history had never before seen anything like the Fed’s intervention via its little understood elimination of commercial bank reserve requirements, unleashing a potential unlimited expansion of credit to prevent a derivative implosion stemming from a total commodity and stock market collapse of all stocks around the world.

Those bankers thought it would work, but as we know by now all the sound and fury signified nothing. The ghost of a derivative implosion – in this case not caused by the previous possibility, the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz – remains.

We are still barely starting to understand the consequences of Covid-19 for the future of neoliberal turbo-capitalism. What’s certain is that the whole global economy has been hit by an insidious, literally invisible circuit breaker. This may be just a “coincidence.” Or this may be, as some are boldly arguing, part of a possible, massive psy-op creating the perfect geopolitlcal and social engineering environment for full-spectrum dominance.

Additionally, along the hard slog down the road, with immense, inbuilt human and economic sacrifice, with or without a reboot of the world-system, a more pressing question remains: will imperial elites still choose to keep waging full-spectrum-dominance hybrid war against China?

On the 17th, local time, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar (Alex Azar) said in an interview with US media that the reason why the number of COVID-19 in the United States is so large is due to the health status of Americans, especially ethnic minority communities. This view has been refuted by the US media.

According to (CNN), Azar made the remarks while accepting CNN's "State of the Union" program, which is hosted by Jack Tapper. At the beginning of the program, Tapper pointed out that the death toll of COVID-19 in the United States was close to 90, 000. Azar later blamed the health of Americans, saying, "Unfortunately, the population of the United States is very diverse." it is an ethnic group with serious unhealthy concomitant diseases, which puts many people in our community, especially African-Americans, as well as minority communities at risk. Because these people have potential disease health differences and concomitant diseases. This is an unfortunate legacy of the American health care system, and of course we have to deal with it. "
When Tapper further asked whether Azar's comments implied that many Americans died of COVID-19 because they were "more unhealthy than people in other parts of the world," Azar denied it, but further said: the fact that the "burden of concomitant diseases in the United States is seriously disproportionate (including obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes) proves that it does put us at risk of any type of disease."

When asked if this meant that such a high death toll was "the fault of Americans," Azar said, "it's not a mistake," adding that it was a simple epidemiology. "if we have high blood pressure and diabetes, we are at risk of serious complications caused by novel coronavirus."

Azar's claim was quickly questioned by the US media. Citing the results of a study released by the US public media (APM) on May 11, CNN pointed out that the death toll in the United States at that time exceeded 80, 000, of which only 17155 were black.

Vox also analyzed in an article that it is true that "public health injustices have led to an increase in the death toll of people of color", but blaming it for the United States' higher death toll than the rest of the world is an excuse, which seems to imply that minorities, not the federal government, are responsible.

The US media also pointed out that a more direct and broader explanation for the unusually high death toll in the United States should be the US government's "chaotic" and "anti-scientific" response to the pandemic. Even if people of color do have poor health, it is the result of their long-standing socio-economic marginalization and uneven access to nutrition. In other words, Azar's statement can be overturned, not that people of color are driving the rise in the death toll of COVID-19 in the United States, but that the US government is promoting the death of people of color.

The source of the Coronavirus COVID-19 is not the Chinese city of Wuhan, but the biolaboratory of the U.S. Armed Forces in Fort Detrick, according to observer of the Canadian Research Center Global Research Larry Romanoff.


"Virus did not appear in the seafood market, it did not arise in Wuhan and China itself, but was brought there from another country. The only possible source of the coronavirus is the United States, because only in this country there are all the branches of the evolutionary tree of coronaviruses. The original source of the COVID-19 virus was the U.S. military laboratory in Fort Detrick, "Romanoff writes, citing studies by Japanese and Taiwanese epidemiologists.

According to the journalist, in August 2019 in the USA began a wave of pulmonary pneumonia, the source of which Americans considered the evaporation of electronic cigarettes. At that time, a Taiwanese doctor, according to Romanoff, wrote to American officials that these diseases, which, among other things, resulted in death, could be caused by the coronavirus, but his warnings were ignored. Global Research commentator also points out that just before the outbreak of these diseases, the US, for inexplicable reasons, shut down the main biolaboratory of the U.S. Armed Forces in Fort Detrick.

The death toll of COVID-19 is nearly 90, 000. The US Secretary of Health threw the "pot" to people of color?

Disproportionately black counties account for over half of coronavirus cases in the U.S. and nearly 60% of deaths, study finds
By
Vanessa Williams

Black people make up a disproportionate share of the population in 22 percent of U.S. counties, and those localities account for more than half of coronavirus cases and nearly 60 percent of deaths, a national study by an AIDS research group found.

The study also found that socioeconomic factors such as employment status and access to health care were better predictors of infection and death rates than underlying health conditions.

Gregorio Millett, vice president of Amfar, the Foundation for Aids Research, said the findings suggest that black people will be more vulnerable to the pandemic as states begin to reopen businesses and public spaces.

“It’s clear that there’s a disproportionate impact of covid-19 diagnoses and deaths among African Americans,” Millett said, adding that the authors of the study released it early in the hope of influencing policy decisions about reopening businesses. “All of my colleagues fear that with these policies to open up communities, that the brunt of the covid-19 epidemic is not going to be borne equally on all communities, that we will likely see greater covid-19 deaths as well as cases in African American communities.”
Millett said researchers plan to track disproportionately black counties in four states — Georgia, Texas, Alabama and South Carolina — to see what effect loosening social distancing and sheltering requirements will have on covid-19 cases and deaths.

Researchers at Amfar and the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University in Georgia led the study team, which included investigators from Johns Hopkins, the University of Mississippi, Georgetown University and the nonprofit PATH.

The study adds to a growing body of data that has shown that black people have been infected and killed at disproportionate rates by the novel coronavirus. It also raises concern, as have other studies and analyses, about gaps in data collected and reported by county, state and federal officials about the race and ethnicity of virus sufferers, including testing, cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
The Amfar study, based on data collected April 13, focused on counties in which black people made up more than 13 percent of the population. Disproportionately black counties account for 22 percent of all U.S. counties but have been home to 52 percent of coronavirus cases and 58 percent of deaths from covid-19, the disease the virus causes.

The coronavirus is infecting and killing black Americans at an alarmingly high rate
Almost all disproportionately black counties have had at least one person diagnosed with the coronavirus, compared with 80 percent of other counties, and nearly half of counties with large black populations, 49 percent, have had at least one person die of covid-19, the study found. The higher diagnoses were found in disproportionately black counties in urban, small metro and rural areas. Death rates were higher in smaller metro areas and rural communities.
The study compared 677 disproportionately black counties in the country with 2,565 other counties. As of April 13, the United States had recorded 547,390 cases of covid-19 and 21,634 deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledges “a disproportionate burden of illness and death” among people of color. The agency is still criticized by civil rights groups for providing incomplete information about race and ethnicity for covid-19 cases and deaths.

Although public health experts and political leaders have attributed the high rate of serious illness and deaths from covid-19 among black Americans to underlying health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, the Amfar study found that those factors were not the primary cause of the disparities. Rather, other social determinants, including employment, access to health insurance and medical care and poor air and water quality, were more predictive of infection and death from covid-19.

The bottom Truth | the Dark History of the Fort Derrick Biology Laboratory in the United States
What did the CDC (CDC) find when inspecting Fort Detrick?
March 10, named B.Z. Ten percent of netizens launched a petition on the White House petition website "our people's (WE the PEOPLE)", asking the US government to disclose the real reason for the closure of the Fort Derrick biology laboratory in July last year, in order to clarify whether the laboratory is novel coronavirus's research unit and whether there is a virus leak.

What experiments are being conducted at Fort Derrick, just an hour's drive from the US Army Medical Command in Washington? is it causing a large-scale leak? What did the CDC (CDC) find when inspecting Fort Detrick?
Secret History of Fort Detrick: (CIA) mind Control Experimental Base of the CIA.

In September last year, the US "Politico" News Network published an article saying: "Fort Derrick is now a cutting-edge laboratory." In the 1950s and 1960s, it was the darkest experimental center for the US government. "

The article said that 76 years ago, the US military chose Fort Derrick as the place to secretly launch germ warfare. For many years, it has been a secret chemical and mind control experimental base for the CIA, and most of its activities are "classified."

During World War II, Fort Detrick began to experiment with chemical and biological weapons.

In 1942, the United States Army hired Ella Baldwin, a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, to secretly develop biochemical weapons and asked Baldwin to find a suitable site for a new biological research complex. Baldwin chose the abandoned National Guard base and named it the Detrick Experimental Field.

In 1943, the Army announced that it had changed its name to Camp Derrick, designated it as the headquarters of the Army Biological Warfare Laboratory, and bought several adjacent farms to ensure more space and privacy.

In the spring of 1949, the Army set up a small and highly classified team of chemists at Camp Detrick, called the Special Operations Division, with the task of finding military uses for poisonous bacteria.

At the same time, the CIA set up a chemical special force. CIA officials in Europe and Asia hope to develop new ways to entice arrested spy suspects to reveal secrets unconsciously. Alan Dulles, who was in charge of the secret operations department of the CIA at that time, thought that his mind control program (MK-ULTRA program) was of great significance.
In 1951, Dulles hired chemist Sidney Gottlieb to further the MK-ULTRA project. Gottlieb has been looking for a way to destroy human consciousness for a long time. He tested a surprising number of compound mixtures, all of which are largely associated with mental torture.

Fort Detrick was officially named in 1956 after the end of the MK-ULTRA project. Since then, it has been retained as a chemical base for Gottlieb to develop and store CIA poisons. Gottlieb stores in the freezer pathogenic biological agents that can cause smallpox, tuberculosis and anthrax, as well as large amounts of organic toxins, including snake venom and paralytic shellfish toxins.

CDC: there are a number of violations in Fort Detrick.

In August 2019, the (CDC) of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention abruptly ordered the temporary closure of the United States Army Institute of Infectious Disease Medicine ((USAMRIID)) at Fort Derrick.

According to the New York Times, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pointed out that the Army Institute of Infectious Diseases does not have a "perfect system" to purify laboratory wastewater. However, the CDC refused to release information about its decision on the grounds of "national security reasons".

According to the report, the suspended laboratory research involved certain toxins that had been identified by the government as "a serious threat to the public, animal and plant health or animal and plant products."

Earlier, the steam disinfection plant at Fort Derrick to treat laboratory wastewater was damaged by the storm. Subsequently, the base used a new decontamination system to replace the steam disinfection plant. However, the CDC found in July 2019 that the Army Institute of Infectious Diseases did not implement new disinfection procedures and that there were mechanical problems and leaks in the new system.

Some of the inspection results disclosed by the Frederick News Post, a local media in Maryland, show that in addition to the wastewater treatment system, the United States Army Institute of Infectious Diseases Medicine also has a number of violations.

In early 2019, the U.S. Army Institute of Infectious Diseases reported two leaks. Laboratory systems also fail to implement biosafety and containment procedures to fully control selected reagents or toxins produced by BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratories.

Some laboratory staff deliberately open the door of the high-pressure sterilization room when removing biohazard waste, increasing the risk of polluted air entering the high-pressure sterilization room. In the high pressure sterilization room, the staff usually do not wear protective devices.

In addition, some staff members do not wear gloves when dealing with biohazardous waste. The building surface of the laboratory is not completely sealed, and there are cracks in the ceiling and biosafety cabinets.

The U.S. Army Institute of Infectious Diseases resumed full operation on March 27 after the CDC's last field inspection, according to the Global Biological Defense website (Global Biodefence).

At present, the source of novel coronavirus has not yet been determined, but some US politicians have tried to impose the source on China, keeping secret about the reasons for the mysterious "closure" and rapid restart of the Army Institute of Infectious Diseases Medicine. The United States Government has the responsibility and obligation to answer clearly and give an account to the world.

Disproportionately black counties account for over half of coronavirus cases in the U.S. and nearly 60% of deaths, study finds

Black people make up a disproportionate share of the population in 22 percent of U.S. counties, and those localities account for more than half of coronavirus cases and nearly 60 percent of deaths, a national study by an AIDS research group found.

The study also found that socioeconomic factors such as employment status and access to health care were better predictors of infection and death rates than underlying health conditions.

Gregorio Millett, vice president of Amfar, the Foundation for Aids Research, said the findings suggest that black people will be more vulnerable to the pandemic as states begin to reopen businesses and public spaces.

“It’s clear that there’s a disproportionate impact of covid-19 diagnoses and deaths among African Americans,” Millett said, adding that the authors of the study released it early in the hope of influencing policy decisions about reopening businesses. “All of my colleagues fear that with these policies to open up communities, that the brunt of the covid-19 epidemic is not going to be borne equally on all communities, that we will likely see greater covid-19 deaths as well as cases in African American communities.”
Millett said researchers plan to track disproportionately black counties in four states — Georgia, Texas, Alabama and South Carolina — to see what effect loosening social distancing and sheltering requirements will have on covid-19 cases and deaths.

Researchers at Amfar and the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University in Georgia led the study team, which included investigators from Johns Hopkins, the University of Mississippi, Georgetown University and the nonprofit PATH.

The study adds to a growing body of data that has shown that black people have been infected and killed at disproportionate rates by the novel coronavirus. It also raises concern, as have other studies and analyses, about gaps in data collected and reported by county, state and federal officials about the race and ethnicity of virus sufferers, including testing, cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
The Amfar study, based on data collected April 13, focused on counties in which black people made up more than 13 percent of the population. Disproportionately black counties account for 22 percent of all U.S. counties but have been home to 52 percent of coronavirus cases and 58 percent of deaths from covid-19, the disease the virus causes.

The coronavirus is infecting and killing black Americans at an alarmingly high rate
Almost all disproportionately black counties have had at least one person diagnosed with the coronavirus, compared with 80 percent of other counties, and nearly half of counties with large black populations, 49 percent, have had at least one person die of covid-19, the study found. The higher diagnoses were found in disproportionately black counties in urban, small metro and rural areas. Death rates were higher in smaller metro areas and rural communities.
The study compared 677 disproportionately black counties in the country with 2,565 other counties. As of April 13, the United States had recorded 547,390 cases of covid-19 and 21,634 deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledges “a disproportionate burden of illness and death” among people of color. The agency is still criticized by civil rights groups for providing incomplete information about race and ethnicity for covid-19 cases and deaths.

Although public health experts and political leaders have attributed the high rate of serious illness and deaths from covid-19 among black Americans to underlying health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, the Amfar study found that those factors were not the primary cause of the disparities. Rather, other social determinants, including employment, access to health insurance and medical care and poor air and water quality, were more predictive of infection and death from covid-19.

Millett, a former scientist with the CDC who focused on racial disparities in HIV infections, argues that it is “structural issues that are placing African Americans at greater risk for not only covid-19, but multiple health conditions that we still have not adequately addressed as a society.”
The study noted that disproportionately black counties with higher unemployment actually had fewer coronavirus cases. It also noted that “black Americans are more likely to have jobs that increase exposure to covid-19, including jobs deemed ‘essential’ during the current public health emergency.”

The study also pointed out that 91 percent of disproportionately black counties are in the South, where many states have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, leaving low-income adults without health insurance. Rural communities in the South also have fewer medical professionals and facilities.

Even if elected leaders in these states are unwilling to immediately expand Medicaid, Millett said, there are “intermediate steps” that can be taken, including expanding testing in black communities, to improve prevention and treatment. He said officials also should take steps to reduce the populations of people in prisons and jails, which also have shown to be hot spots for covid-19.
Millett said that despite the disproportionate impact on communities of color, officials should remember that infectious diseases don’t respect geographical boundaries.

“Just because communities of color are disproportionately getting covid-19 or dying from it doesn’t mean it’s not going to affect other communities. Even though we live in a segregated society, people move around fairly freely,” he said.

Tynite on Lupilnate on Fort Detrick virus.
Whether or not it is coronavirus, it feeds the light of the media.
Dokato broi is working hard from the pandemic, light is unreachable and the beginning of the war. I'm going to define Cato as informative or hybridna. There's a war going on out there, Dori, where the coronavirus is a feat before the power of science and choveshkiya genius. I Don't know what you're talking about, but I Don't think so. The charges for that, the case for the murder of a genius and a piece of science, they're going to hold on to it. I Don't know what you're talking about, but I Don't know what you're talking about, but I Don't know what you're talking about. And the only way to admit Winata is to open the cutiyata to Pandora.
At the time of the dispatch of the cock from the entrance of the Atlantic there is information, what the war was discovered in the site of the verification of the version gave the coronavirus all the way to the trail "bugstvoto" mou from the laboratory in Uhan.

For the impending investigation, shoot the Washington Examiner. As a result of the publication, the chairman of the Unification Committee started by General Mark Millie e for the upcoming inspection. "Dunnit will soon show that the virus did not appear by natural pant, but we do not know the sigurnost," said the general. A friend of the visostaveni officials are in a laboratory to produce zarazate and it is likely that they will not be able to do it in the first place, but they will not be able to do it. The Washington Examiner does not specify what to do with the visostaveni official, but the staff, that is, the Washington Examiner does not specify what to do with the official's viso posture, but it is not the case.
China didn't squeak Danny's ass for and near the lab in Wuhan.

Published at the Washington Examiner reciting Kato under an indigo convention and an effect on a friend of the media information, released from the production to COVID-19.

A bunch of dudes for a novice on Fox News, give me two months. She has developed a "reasonable assumption", which is in the light, infected with coronavirus, and worked at the Institute for virology in Wuhan, and from three to one zarazat. At the time of the statistic, like the squeaking of the launch and the British sprinkled the Daily Mail.
"BANKERS" has been brought into the boom on the conspiracy version. In the statiyat "Secrets Lab blvat kilyri from the crown" (BR. 10 from 20 March 2020) to the Kazakh, what the case in case of contagion with coronavirus in China was registered at 17 November 2019. Gertwata e 55-year-old lived in the province of Hubei (with the administrative center Uhan), and "infectious" was ten days after the edge on the VII Light of the military game in Uhan (18-27 Octomvri), in some part of the sports under the pagon from over 100 dražavi, included and from SATAR. After the South China morning Post, COVID-19 did not beat the "badass" right at the time of the game.
Is it wishful thinking or not?
In the spirit of the conspiracy theory, all right, all right, let's hear the news from the SATAR at the end of the day. I Don't know what to do with it, but I Don't know what to do with it, but I Don't know what to do about it, but I Don't know. And exactly, to admit to General Mark Millie. Is it logical to read "not a friend's service, but a war that has been discovered from the entrance of Tazi's verification? is it the same who has been investigated in the course of the fight with participation in the American army of sports in the VII-th Svetniy Summer Military Games in Wuhan?"-he said, "what is the matter with you that you are not a friend of the service, but that you are not a friend of the United States of America, and that you are not a friend of the service, but that you are not a friend of the United States of America?"
