      Obama saw the irregularity in the American health care system and that's why he founded Obama Care for every citizen. Trump then tried to systematically destroy Obama Care !. A system that provides every citizen with basic medical care, especially black citizens. But the white Amerikkka was amazed and jealous that no white person came up with this revolutionary idea and deliberately systematically broke it. We see who now has to pay for this outrage, actually a senseless action. And even with this fact, the arrogant, white, middle class citizen shakes his head and is sure of his things.

    I’m an uber driver in Chicago! I know exactly where that %72 came from.
    1. House parties in the south and the west sides.
    2. So many black customers were telling me that they are immune from this disease.
    3. I heard from so many black customers that “this is all BS”
    4. If u go to food stores liquor stores.....in the south and the west sides u will be shocked how the majority of black are respecting distancing!
    I texted the mayor two weeks ago warning her about these issues but she did not responded nor she took any action!
    This was my message to the mayor’s office:
    Please stop the house parties! They have been going on for the last 2 weekends or set up a # to report them!
    And please set up signs on buses or educative banners especially in the low income neighborhoods (south and west side) to raise awareness about
    1. How does this virus infect people.
    2. The importance of following the stay home policy, keeping distance, the importance of wearing a mask, and how this virus does not discriminate because some people think that it’s a “white peoples” disease!
    I’m an uber driver and I’ve seen and heard so many insane things about this corona virus that left me wondering about the well-being of our city!
    Thank you for time

      A lot of black people continue to go to church here in Chicago. They are even gathering in people's basements to hear "the word" and they feel that is covering them with the "blood of Jesus", rendering them invincible against Covid. Black folks too religious for their own good and thinking God will fix everything so they don't have to act to save their own selves, just as history has shown. They must've skipped over the "faith without works" scriptures. Smh.

    I would like to see the infection rate by income level rather than “race.” It’s easy to manipulate statistics for a political agenda. Are all the people in certain areas and income levels infected and dying at the same rate? Are high-income black people also have a higher risk? Is population density a contributing factor? Are those living in single family homes safer than apartment dwellers?
    I’m not trying to say racism isn’t present. But if it is not held up by facts that include all relevant information, it’s deceptive and creates the kind of conflict we see in the comments.
    Seriously, if you say black people are suffering from more infection and death, show the facts that exclude the possibility that it is an economic problem not race.

    There are two things that came to mind here.

Secondly, and the more devastating, many young black people were sharing posts on social media about the coronavirus not affecting black people. A joke to some, but I would wager many young black people in Chicago have unknowingly infected their more vulnerable family, due in part to a nearly dismissive attitude that was fueled by social media. It was only two weeks ago the Chicago Tribune ran an article trying to correct this dangerous myth.
