Fauci and Birx correctly attribute black obesity to coronavirus mortality. Will the black community take responsibility?

As Dr. Birx said correctly, it’s not that they are getting infected more often, it’s that when they do get infected their underlying medical conditions — the diabetes, hypertension, the obesity, the asthma — those are the kind of things that wind them up in the ICU and ultimately give him a higher death rate.”

Fauci said, “when all this is over and, as we said, it will end, we will get over coronavirus, but there will still be health disparities which we really do need to address in the African American community.”

Who will they blame besides themselves?

They always have. Or at least, the whites have for them. They've claimed a poor diet "forces" them to eat unhealthy foods. Nevermind every other culture in the world has figured out how to feed their poor via beans and rice.

Tap the brakes.... The cupcakes, coke and cheetos seem to be doing the intended job... Don't go giving people ideas that there's healthier food out there.

You seldom see a fat surgeon in the hospital.

Addressing any issue of the “black community” is pointless because they will resent others telling them how to live, and eating is one of the few pleasures that isn’t too expensive in the USA.

Who would have thought populations with low self control would be hit harder.

They won’t have to. A typical white liberal will do that for them while trying to profit from being leader of the bullsjit “movement”.

Just when we need fat, black, asthmatic, diabetic, hypertensive warriors to fight Trump and get free universal single payer health care!

I don't know about South Central LA, but NYC is packed with bodegas selling fresh fruit from all over the world for next to nothing. It's the excess delivered to supermarket warehouses in North Jersey. You can't walk two blocks without stumbling upon stands full of apples, pears, tomatoes, etc.

The answer is in the original post's picture:
• white
• old
• male
It's all Colonel Sanders' fault!

During the Wu-Flu I've been binge watching some old seasons of Survivor. It turns out the secret to losing weight is right there in plain view: eat less (and, possibly, exercise more).

When I visited Busch Gardens in Virginia last year, I realized why so much of America is obese (yes, white people included). Funnel cake is a fun thing to get at the park or at a carnival. But it's friggin 100 degrees out....and these people top it with ice cream, chocolate syrup and whip cream. Then...they are all eating thick dense cheesecake. In 100 degrees!

Same goes for Florida. During our trip to Disney...about 4 days in, we were almost in tears because our bodies were craving a fresh vegetable with nothing in sight.

When I visited Busch Gardens in Virginia last year,

Busch Gardens is in my neighborhood and I am a regular visitor. Funnel cakes are for carnivals and block parties. If you go to Bush Gardens again try the Trapper's Smokehouse. Get the sampler platter for some of the best BBQ around (brisket, ribs, and chicken). You could also get a serving of green beans, if you wanted. Skip the desserts (carrot cake, chocolate cake, etc) as they look great but are rather bland.

High Pressure Blower. I'm not sure what that means, but maybe Rin can chime in. No need for a "not suitable for work" warning, as we're all working from home! 🤪
