  1. This is happening because these folks work hard in industries that make it extremely difficult social distance!

    1. that and the fact that many have pre-existing health conditions from poor healthcare overall in the US and particularly in the Latino community many of whom have little or no healthcare for many different reasons.

  2. Name another country which pretends to be united and a great melting pot but obsesses so much about the ethnicity of its citizens, more than the ideas for which it stands.

    1. no better way to destroy something than, to make it attack itself and destroy it from within cancer.

    2. @Andrew L PickfordIII SJW identity politics is routed in Marxism, instead of using class to divide people it uses race and gender. This type of ideology only brings destruction and you’re part of it.

  3. How to tell if someone is racist: if their reaction to hearing about a minority dying is question their immigration status 👌

    1. @Disney Princess of Mars
      Lemons for what ?

      Old and New Testament say the same thing.
      The New Testament continually quotes the Old Testament.Somebody duped you.

    2. @david Milton 1. They think lemons have Lysol powers.
      2.the Old Testament is…”meaner”
      3. I’m rubber and you’re glue, which means someone duped *you.*
      4. Have a Magic Day.💋

    3. @Cha4k
      Yes,it kind of does.
      When most think of the “typical” illegal immigrant,they think Latino.

  4. Many of the essential workers in the US are also the poor working class and often immigrants. But at the same time, republicans want to kick immigrants out. But why kick out the people who you depend on for food, medical care, and transportation? Seems pretty dumb on the part of republicans. 🤔

    1. They just use us as scapegoats. They don’t want to pay taxes on immigrants or offer any financial assistance. They want us to work but they don’t want to employ us.

    2. #j G focus, you were talking about illegals not democrats. How many scapegoats do you need jesus

    3. @#j G You are not going to harvest crops, work on dairy farms, or in meat processing plants. For many Americans the work is beneath them and raising wages will not get “real Americans” to do a lot of this work. So, who do suppose will?

    4. @Karen ByrdAmerican prison inmates will be more than happy to work the harvest, the illegal aliens need to go home

  5. #MEDICARE AND UBI FOR AMERICANS
    FOR OUR FAMILIES
    FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
    FOR EVERYONE
    FOR LIFE.

  6. This partially explains why Trump and his evil administration keeps blowing off the effects of this virus.

    1. So don’t wear a mask, go hang out with your low-IQ, right-wing, lunatic-fringe friends…and don’t complain when you are dying from Coronavirus.

    2. Exactly spread the doom and gloom till the November elections then the left can push for mail-in voting with no standard for validating the ballots

  7. “America if you’re listening” Are the LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES paying for all the deaths caused by the coronavirus? Over 80,000 dead
    are the life and health insurance companies paying out hospital bills death benefits?

  8. A similar situation in the uk with black and Asian communities unfortunately. Very similar statistics

  9. 🤔Who’s fault is it that they believe lemons will save them, or that green- tea will make you well after you get sick…or that Pancho Villa was the first President of the United States.

    They should mention the culture of Purposefully NOT washing your Hands, so as to Supposedly be exposed to germs, thereby having a “stronger” immune system.
    Maybe a by-line about the culture that has a trash can for used toilet tissue in every bathroom.
    🤷
    I think the virus, like Chaos, is,
    Ultimately, *Fair.*

    Bienvenidos Coronvidos

  10. Morgan Radford go home and take care of your families everyone is in danger of getting the covid19 virus. Stop talking about groups of people because it will come back to you. Shut up.

  11. Because they are low wage front line workers. I bet they have second thoughts now of illegally coming to the US.
