Minority Communities Suffering More From Coronavirus Pandemic | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. #MEDICARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
    FOR ALL OF OUR FAMILIES
    FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES
    FOR ILLNESS, INJURIES, PANDEMIC
    FOR LIFE.

    1. @Laura Lafauve How many different sources would make you stop being gullible? They’re very easy to find. I thought I’d allow you to pick and choose them yourself since you don’t want to believe me. It’s not a difficult task but it appears you would rather argue than find the solution.

    2. @timmiet47321 no. I am proposing a solution. I have explained my reasoning. One of your reasons, which I have heard many times is that “it is too expensive”. Since we have already given EXACTLY that amount of money away to people who don’t need it, that argument falls flat.

      As for googling, if I don’t know which sources you are referencing, there’s no reason I would choose exactly the same articles as you. Which is why I gave you my best source first, so you could compare it with yours. That way we can compare apples to apples.

      I am going to be quite busy until Monday, but if you leave your sources here I will look them up then.

    3. @timmiet47321 well it’s feast or famine. And still with the insults. I’ll get back with you after Monday.

    4. @Laura Lafauve You’ll survive being called silly. I promise. Heck, you might even forget about it by Monday morning.

    1. There will be no flatline. This thing is going to stay through summer and continue into flu season. Expect to follow that pattern for the next 12 to 18 months.

    1. That’s fine. You may think what you wish. It doesn’t matter what you think the numbers are when it’s one of your own that’s become a statistic.

    2. @Andy Andino with that mentality you may as well never leave the house because you WILL be struck by lightning. Of course numbers matter.

    3. @Andy Andino Lol a doctor has to sign a death certificate. It is a guess if someone is dying from covid, the cdc estimates 38k Americans as confirmed and the others are probable.

  2. “You’re treated better if you’re RICH and GUILTY than if you’re POOR and INNOCENT.” The man just described the entire justice system in one sentence. hahahahaha.

    1. People of color SUFFER in Democrat run cities and states. NYC sees them worth more dead than alive.

    2. @TheBase1aransas say it loud and say it again! It is the truth it is the sad truth! There are family still living with dead bodies at the mayor will not allow the coroner to pick up! Right in Brooklyn NYC SMH pray for our City please🙏❤👍

    3. @REAL BLACKS KNOW THE TRUTH I pray everyday that people wake up to the division being done to Americans and that we fight the real enemy that comes in all color of skin. Evil. Evil only cares about itself. The ONLY job of government is to protect the God Given RIghts of the smallest minority. The individual. Give it more power and evil will seize it to do harm to others to enrich itself. God Bless

  3. This pandemic will have served a purpose if enough of the rich and powerful get infected by the poor and powerless who toil to provide them with their lavish lifestyles. We all need to learn that no one truly prospers until everyone prospers. It will serve my selfish interests if everyone is as healthy as possible and everyone gets as much education as possible.

  4. $$$$$ VS NO $$$$$ color is for main stream media’s amusement. —- How divided can we make those poor humans?

  5. Ten year plus corrupt politicians in Washington dont care about the poor or homless just look at the last forty years as a example.

  6. People, please develop community groups that can work together and take care of your neighbors. People are trying to survive this on their own, but they can’t. You need teamwork.

    Form neighborhood groups, and decide who will do what, and who all will be helped. Just focus on coming together and helping your specific neighborhood, to discourage people from going out and risking lives.

  7. Thankfully, Less than 2% die from COVID, and most of those have comorbidities (e.g. obesity, heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes), many of which are preventable through lifestyle modification. What if our public health leaders started reminding us that we have power to modify these factors that make COvID particularly dangerous to us Americans, instead of engaging in demagoguery-laden fear-mongering and political divisiveness?

  8. I am a MINORITY. I see more minorities clustered together like they haven’t seen each other in years….. let alone bad eating habits

    1. Kandy Boy yes it does, why do you think no country is affected along the equator or areas where the temperature is above 76 degrees fehrenheit

    2. @Haroun Sial I live in California, one of the most infected states in US especially in Silicon Valley. temperatures rise on average up to 90 degrees here. Not to mention the average body temperature is over 80 degrees. So no it doesn’t.

  9. Thank God for Donald Trump! He even got an Award from Jesse Jackson for helping the black community,
