Dr. Eboni Hilton @UVA! Thank you for saying on @11thHour what NO ONE ELSE has said on @MSNBC so far! Black, brown and poor pp are more likely to die from #COVIDー19, not because they happen to have more Diabetes, Hypertension and Asthma. It’s not genetic. It’s structural. 1/
Black, brown and poor people are not dying more from #Coronavirus because we’re naturally weaker. It’s the highways that cut through our neighborhoods leaving higher densities of particulate matter in the air; causing astronomical rates of asthma. 2/ @MSNBC
