Race is an issue with covid-19 : Apparently some black people have convinced themselves only asian and white people are susceptible, while black people are immune. I am NOT kidding or making this up. IIRC. they did the same thing back in the 1980s til the early 1990s : "Only white dudes can get AIDS ; we're immune".  I remember that nonsense (old) , and apparently it's started up again, with a new self-proclaimed immunity. :-(  If this attitude is common offline as well as on, then places like NO with a black-majority population are going to get hit HARD, especially given obesity rates  there .
