Did COVID have a racial disparity in mortality and if so, why?

I believe that's been studied, and the answer is yes.

Why? Because diabetes, obesity, poor nutrition, education racism.

A lot of those red states have hefty black populations. Does the mortality disparity skew results?

No, the study looks at registered Republicans and registered Democrats as individuals, not grouping by state.

Why?

I know that public health officials do a lot of work in third world countries, determining which groups are more likely to get vaccines (in these cases, stuff like polio, etc) and how it breaks down along religion, tribe, etc.

Rumour has it that around here registered Republicans vote Democrat. Maybe so they can spoil the primaries....
