People of color dying from COVID at disproportionate rates should surprise no one. “There is something we can learn from this” completely disingenuous; food, environmental justice, educational & healthcare disparities all stem from old economic disparities. CASE FOR REPARATIONS

Under reporting of COVID deaths in poor communities may never fully be exposed.

Or is it something in the bio-terrorism lab in Wuhan that was added to the virus to eliminate black/brown races?

and those old policies were held in high regard by Joe Biden. nothing has changed, in that regard.

No reparations for anybody. What difference would monthly cash handouts make in a pandemic, even one a few years from now? Better solutions are #MedicareForAll and free higher education and trade schools. We also need a study of Corona impact on various ethnic groups.

Perhaps consider that people of colour in northern climates often have low Vit D levels. The reason is likely biologic and related to Vit D's important role in immunity. It is cheap and safe to supplement. The first 10 docs to die in the UK had darker skin.

People of Color or Black Americans?

Please look at the science behind it. African Americans have a higher rate of vitamin D deficiency. Vit D is a hormone that has extensive immunomodulatory effects, well documented in respiratory infections. Supplementation for many is key.
