Well I don't know anything about that, but I do know that most african americans outside of one or two cities live in the south east, which is nothing but sunlight. African Americans living in Atlanta aren't getting covid because of low vitamin d levels due to climate.

And then weirdly african americans have lower rates of osteoporotic fractures but that could also just be due to not getting adequate healthcare.

im currently working in meth world USA and i very rarely see anyone under 40 with low vitamin d levels, and these people only go outside to sell the copper wiring they've stolen from abandoned houses.

but who the gently caress knows at this point. worst hting that happens from taking a supplement is you get expensive pee.

I live in NYC and my parents are upstate and Vitamin D deficiency is something we share. I dont have a deficient diet and never have (other than lovely cheese and meat) and low Vitamin D is always a concern to me and most other black ppl I know too.

to a certain extent I can understand the people who are so frustrated by the lockdown/staying inside/whatever that they are willing to risk going to the beach, park, or hell even a gym but waiting 3 hours in line to buy some lovely Disney merchandise is just mind boggling to me

i low key suspect that the fervor about it is a desperate and misplaced anger, like if i can just buy my mickey mouse ears the world will snap out of the simulation and back into normality and all these filthy democrats are stopping me from being a hero

why no masks? gotta say being an “essential” construction worker, life was really stressful months ago, but once mask use on jobsites got mandated no one at any company i talk to has had anyone get sick. at least on construction sites, masks seem to work, and every one got used to them pretty quick.

probably just gonna wear a mask out in public for the rest of time.

i don't know man I can't spend any energy thinking about why they're dumb as poo poo, I just need to figure out how to navigate it. I guess I need an n95 minimum if people around me aren't wearing masks? Homemade won't cut it

to be honest I don't know how anyone on the left watches the news these days without going "oh, we're on the losing side of an arms race"

there's no victory to be had in some supposed moral high ground of going "Well actually I think we should ban all of those" to a bunch of nazis about to plug you full of lead

Your dumb gun toy was a waste of money and the US being chock full of guns didn't stop the rise of fascism. If anything, it greatly enabled it by causing police to militarize to an extreme degree.

You're not bringing about the revolution, your gun is useless.

I would like to issue a formal apology for being personally responsible for the militarization of the police, I will accept whatever punishment you deem fitting

the left showing up to protests and demonstrations with guns has been proven over and over again to stay the hand of immediate violent reaction by the police and more often than not scares away militia larper types who operate on the assumption that their opposition are disarmed cowards

massive police militarization is a response to unrest and inequality and not the level of gun ownership in a society. The biggest recent push of police militarization was in response to explicitly peaceful disarmed protest movements in the wake of the 2008 crash

being widely known to be armed and willing to defend yourselves isn't a one stop shop to revolution, but it buys a whole lot more breathing room than banners or ballots do

The most devious thing American public schools did was lionize Ghandi and MLK to convince us that non-violent protest works. It doesnt. Every successful movement has brought with it the means to defend itself from the violence of its opponents.
