In NY or New Orleans, you can overlay a C19 map with a map of average household incomes, or race, and they will almost match up 1:1.

This obviously points out a huge huge problem in America that not many people are going to pay attention to... They are busy fighting over trying to have a proper health care system and fighting against higher minimum wages (many of whom are these "essential workers" the country is currently relying on)

Sorry if I ranted there this kind of pisses me off whenever I think about it.
Or maybe black and Hispanic people in America, generally, have differing attitudes/cultures than some other ethnicities.
Just like Italians have differing attitudes/cultures from Japanese.
