It's Racist To Notice

The local news put up a map showing that largest increases in Wu Ping Cough in our area are where there's poverty...

Also, a certain demographic.

A demographic that was apt to be packed hook to jowl at the recent protests over George Floyd's death and not bothering with social distancing or masks.

A demographic which has been having block parties since April, again without social distancing or masks.

For fuck's sake!

This is exactly how communicable diseases spread.

There wasn't a big spread from ignoring it when you stuck to the same people who didn't have it.

Take no precautions when you gather in a large group and you bring it home.

Voila!

But we're not supposed to notice whom is most affected while they shut down the local bar.

Speaking of most affected, I've read more than once that this demographic is more likely to have symptoms and bad outcomes from Wu Ping Cough.  You'd think that would lead to them being more careful, not less, when it comes to exposure.
