    This is so fucked. Can you tell me where you found the "not being white" part?

      its mostly a reference to the fact that most studies are done on white people

      also black people just die more from covid statistically

      The CDC has played a bit fast and loose with risk factors vs. comorbidities. You can find one example here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html

      Oh and the quote above is based on a study with 36 deaths and it was about risk factors, so case in point: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7101a4.htm?s_cid=mm7101a4_w#T1_down
