      This came up in one of the briefings. Birx said the data was incomplete, and they simply didn't know for sure.

        My Doc seems to think high blood pressure and diabetes are the two biggest risk factors:

          Those comorbidities have been recognized for a while.

          My question regarding that is whether they are controlled comorbidities or not.

            @George-K my reply wasn’t meant to alert people that those comorbidities are particularly dangerous with COVID-19, but to point out that they are prevalent in the African American community.

              So far this virus has had a disparate impact on white people.

                  I should have said controlled hypertension or diabetes.

                  IOW, is someone whose hypertension is well controlled at higher risk?

                    Well, it seems logical that no hypertension is better than controlled hypertension which is better than uncontrolled hypertension.

                    But by how much? What's your guess?

                          We have a market failure. The demand for racism is way higher than the supply.

                                I suppose if I lived in Oregon I would understand. Living with non -Oregon privilege I understand the need to shut up.
