now that I think about it a racist healthcare system disproportionately covid testing sick black people could make a twisted sense.

although figuring out what exactly is happening is going to take some time since the number of positive cases and positive deaths are all completely hosed right now. it is entirely possible every similarly situated person no matter their race is catching and dying at the same rates.

the issue is SAR/EMS availability if something goes wrong. communities that have thing like backpacking trails tend to have like 2 ICU beds 100 miles away and can barely serve their full-time residents in normal times. the mountain towns in colorado have literally told everyone to stay away and they'll ticket them if they don't, not sure if it's legal but they REALLY don't want you there


so this basically + impact on others in the area

In Georgia most of the major trailheads to the AT closed last week. Everyone wants to be out right now and it's making for a ton of congestion on the trails. Towns in the north of the state were telling people to stay home because they don't have the services to deal with non-locals getting sick/injured.

Two components of this are almost certainly:

1) longstanding distrust of the rich white male medical apparatus among the black community (which is entirely understandable considering you got so much disinformation right now from assholes all over and the long history of racism ie slavery, Tuskegee experiment).

2) Systemic socioeconomic racism in health care towards blacks. If you dig into numbers their access to treatment and medical coverage is almost certainly way lower than other racial breakdowns. I mean, come on, everyone knows black people, especially women, overexagerate their pain and don't really need pain meds :downs:

Isn't that combo of systemic poverty and institutional racism in medicine resulting in disproportionate frequencies of stuff like obesity and uncontrolled diabetes/hypertension too?

because the propaganda is pathetic and that makes it hilarious? this mushmouthed army man is up there now bragging about how states can expect *a couple hundred* ventilators to fight this, as if that is more than a drop in the bucket.

i mean we could just scream and scream and scream instead, both valid options imho

Being poor literally destroys your heart. Poor people are more likely to be in a constant Fight-or-Flight mode because there's never enough money and they're always worried or anxious about whether or not they'll be able to pay for bills/rent/food. Theres also the anger that comes with being rejected by society at large and being the scapegoat for the wealthy.

Turns out, having no control over your life and being discriminatied against leads to horrible levels of hypertension! God bless America.

I can't either but I'm going to try to go camping in the middle of nowhere tomorrow just for my mental health. I'm feeling a serious problem coming on. I also need to go grocery shopping for perishables and the Kroger here is not something I trust due to the fact 2 nursing homes and a hospital are across the street both are infected. I'm thinking of picking up what I need on my way home from camping in a less infected area that's not as populated
