CNN is running around saying all these deaths didn’t have to happen, and making it racist
They didn’t all have to die — a moment of reflection as US Covid deaths reach 100,000
The first tragedy of America’s bleak coronavirus milestone is that 100,000 people didn’t have to die. The second is that no one knows how many more will perish before the pandemic fades.
The desperate toll passed into six figures on Wednesday afternoon: 100,000 victims, who were living Americans several months ago, when the viciously infectious virus made landfall. The landmark is a story of lost mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, spouses and even children. Families are shattered, and the dying expire alone. They can’t even be mourned owing to social distancing — one of Covid-19’s cruelest impositions.
The virus has been disproportionately infecting communities of color. Black Americans represent 13.4% of the American population, according to the US Census Bureau, but counties with higher black populations accounted for more than half of all Covid-19 cases and almost 60% of deaths as of mid-April, a study by epidemiologists and clinicians found. The virus has also exploited monetary divides, as infections at meat-packing plants show, while many white-collar workers work from home.
Obviously, they go on to slam President Trump, while ignoring the reactions from Democratic Party governors. And then there’s this
Pew report breaks down COVID-19 impact by congressional district — Dems won’t like the results
A new Pew Research Center report shows the death toll in the United States from COVID-19 is “heavily concentrated” in Democratic congressional districts.
According to the analysis, more than half of all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. occurred in just 44 (approximately 10 percent of) congressional districts, and 41 of those 44 hardest-hit districts are represented by Democrats, while only three are represented by Republicans.
“A new Pew Research Center analysis of data on official reports of COVID-19 deaths, collected by the John Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering, finds that, as of last week, nearly a quarter of all the deaths in the United States attributed to the coronavirus have been in just 12 congressional districts – all located in New York City and represented by Democrats in Congress. Of the more than 92,000 Americans who had died of COVID-19 as of May 20 (the date that the data in this analysis was collected), nearly 75,000 were in Democratic congressional districts,” Pew reported.
Apparently, Democrats hate people, especially minorities.
