Virus deaths

Black Americans are dying at disproportionate rates from the virus because they are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, overweight, smoking, diabetes and asthma. The biggest case of discrimination is with the elderly as 80% of all deaths are people over age 65 and half of those are over age 80 and half of those were in nursing homes. The numbers are 38,000, 19,000 and 9,500 respectively. All other deaths number 10,000.
