A new CDC MMWR report finds Marshallese (people from the Republic of the Marshall Islands) and Hispanic or Latino persons accounted for 64% of COVID-19 cases and 57% of COVID-19-related deaths in two Arkansas counties despite making up 19% of the population. Tailored support services and community-based prevention activities are needed to raise understanding of COVID-19 transmission and what they can do to protect themselves.

Trying to blame it ALL on racism and disparities in communities is disingenuous and unfair to all sides.

Only truth will heal and ignoring facts because they aren't PC is ignorant and damaging.

Now, be honest, A LOT of it is racism and community disparities, but AN AWFUL LOT OF IT IS CULTURAL.

I live in a predominantly black and Latino neighborhood, and they just aren't taking it seriously!

C.J. Briggs I live in a predominantly White wealthy neighborhood, and not one of them take it seriously. Is that still considered cultural?

You would think its time for truth. Instead they are spreading hate. I think if we all new the truth no one would fear anymore. I'm just waiting for numbers to surpass population. Maybe then we can be done with the lies.

Lol. You are so much smarter than the rest of us. How can you stand it?

Wear the mask well. .

The mask only works when it is wore properly. It would be more helpful to ask if they could adjust the mask or put on a mask than spread racial prejudice

Why?

Do they not have access to the internet, radio and-or tv?

Somehow I doubt it.

Do they all not speak English?

Somehow I doubt it.

Could it be their beliefs or customs or lifestyle play a part?

Somehow I think so.

I wonder if the CDC uses Dominion adding machines to do all the math calculations on these studies?

Having not read the report yet, I wonder if weight has something to do with this. That being said, I am not a skinny mini and I am certainly not implying the people who are not skinny are of less value than others. But we truly need to understand how this virus works and if it is affecting people with pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, obesity, COPD, etc., more than others and then we need to understand that. And given that I am not a skinny mini, this makes me very worried about myself. I’m definitely taking extra precautions. I don’t think this is about racism as much as pre-existing conditions.

something different everyday!

what about the japanize people

When are you gonna tell the truth?

Covid has no say in my life. No mask. I will cont to live, work, love, hug. Without a mask!!

"Stay informed about Covid 19. Shut off all corporate news outlets and ignore the CDC."

And listen to Dr. Trump right?

Several months ago in NC 40% of new infections were Hispanics, while they are 9% of the population. Today the Hispanic infection rate is 27%. I think the reason is because they come to the US to make money to send home so they live in crowded living conditions to save money.

Perhaps that, and the fact that they typically work in jobs where they can’t take off an have little or no masking and/or distancing.

I was in gas station the other day in stl county and everyone was at least trying to take precautions by wearing a mask but 6 Mexicans came in no mask and walked all over gas station so stuff like this is why. I'm all for personal choice but we need to quit trying to put percentages out when it's obvious why African Americans and Mexicans are getting it in higher numbers when I'm in the city of Saint Louis I swear to God at least 90% of African Americans got only their mouth covered and nose hanging out I mean this in no bad way but I'm also not blind look around and you will see it what ever little protection a cloth mask does have goes to zero with nose out

They obviously don't care enough. I've seen them like that to so I get out of the store real quick.
