The CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) new national numbers indicate that black Americans make up 30 percent of the COVID-19 patients. Yet they only make up 13 percent of the U.S. population.

It shows that the second population group has less money to pay for health care and injustice due to racism.

Black Americans are not more susceptible to coronavirus, just carrying around the awful results of a racist health care system. Vox wrote:

Many differences in health outcomes in America are “produced by access to things like adequate time to prepare healthy foods at home” and “adequate money to not be working three shifts and have really high stress levels,” Lynch said — access that white people are just more likely to have. As [Fabiola] Cineas notes, 22 percent of black Americans lived in poverty in 2018, compared with 9 percent of white Americans.’
