EXCLUSIVE: ABC News will present three days of special coverage to how the coronavirus has reflected, exposed or exacerbated racial, ethnic and socioeconomic divides.
Starting on Wednesday, the reports, titled Pandemic — A Nation Divided, will appear across all of the network’s platforms. The series is rooted in statistics showing a disproportionate impact of the virus on African Americans and Latinos and other communities. For instance, in New York City, African Americans are twice as likely to die of the virus, according to the network. In Washington, D.C., Latinos have been seven times more likely to be infected than white residents.
Marie Nelson, the senior vice president of integrated content strategy, said that “as the COVID-19 global pandemic became a black, brown and working class epidemic in America, we quickly recognized there was an urgent need to tell more stories from these communities.” She said that the project was started about a week and a half ago and will be the launch of further stories and projects across the network.

and socioeconomic divides...
Are they going to show the difference between our Congressmen’s lives and those who have lost their businesses?
Maybe it’s a hygiene issue
Will they recommend infecting more white people to even things off?
How about the differences between our congress critters lives who traded on insider information, and got out of dangerous stocks, reassured us all was ok, and their constituents who lost their life savings.
Maybe next week a program on how 6% of the population (black males) commit 65% of the violent crimes as has reflected, exposed or exacerbated racial, ethnic and socioeconomic divides.
The virus is sizeist; it affects morbidly obese people more than it does people of normal weight.
The virus is ageist; it affects older people mor than it does younger people.
The virus is comorbidityist; it affects people with comorbidity issues more than it does healthy people.
The virus is political partyist; it affects Democrats more than it does Republicans.
Will they point out that big city ‘Rat mayors have allowed people of color to live in housing that makes steerage the Titanic look spacious...
Breaking: “World ends, women and minorities hardest hit.”
Odumbo may have done even more.
It’s a well-Hollywood-demonstrated fact, that if you live in a metropolis anywhere in the Continental U.S., and a major some-kind-of-medical bad thing happens, y’all’re ‘phooked’, a la “Last Man On Earth/Omega Man”, fer instance!
Correlation, Causation and other factors:
Cornoavirus targets the obese. A certain demographic group feeds their babies and children far more sugar than the average American, who already consumes far too much sugar. Those babies and children addicted to sugar grow up, get pregnant and have a high rate of maternal and infant death. Those that survive feed their babies and children too much sugar and perpetuate an unhealthy lifestyle.
The coronavirus comes along. Guess who it targets.
A funeral was held in SW GA. Virtually all mourners at that funeral were of one particular demographic group. Coronavirus spread rapidly in that group and beyond that group to their friends. Is it racism that the funeral director of the same demographic group as the dead person, and the mourners allowed the spread of disease at that funeral.
Let’s be clear: Racism does exist. It existed in an isolated incident in the other corner of Southern GA. But we cannot blame everything on it.
Some say no racism exists. Others say racism is a BIG PROBLEM. The truth is that racism exists and is a small problem. There are many other problems that exist that are much larger than racism.
The two false extremes are their own worst enemies.
Are they saying we’re not all in this together?
Will they recommend infecting more white people to even things off?
The problem isn't that white people aren't getting infected. It's that we aren't entering into the spirit of the thing by dying in the same numbers as black people. We need to give more diabetes and hypertension to white people!
Hopefully this post does not need a sarcasm tag.
This is how the Left promotes division & hatred.
I would see the brothers walk out of the stall and walk right out without washing their hands.
