@NicolleDWallace Not sure who you're talking to on health disparities, but I did a search on PubMed on COVID19 and also Health Disparities. For COVID19, it's because of Vitamin D deficiency, which is also true for several other diseases among AfrAms. D's regulates immune system.1
Most of the health disparities for AfrAm are genetic & life style choices, not sociology, but science & choices. Access to health insurance & transport to get HC are factors, but not COVID19. Vit D isn't a vitamin but hormone regulating immune function. Low D in AfrAm's genetic.
I sent the literature search I did on Health Disparities in AfrAms to @JoeBiden Pretty sure @RonaldKlain read it. The good news - much can be fixed with an affordable & easy to implement intervention, but clinical trial is needed to verify, validate & quantify everything.
The best thing every black or brown or white US citizen can do to improve their health is to VOTE and elect @JoeBiden #RVA #RVAprotests #BlackLivesMatter #rvacouncil #BLM
