Should people with darker skin be classed as vulnerable in the same way the over 70s and obese people are? Doing it could spark insane backlash but it could save live, actually, you know what, why aren't the governments sending out Vitimin D supplements to people with darker skin? This will be a great shame on us when we look back that no one spoke up for fear of calls of racism.

Isn't it more a case of different living circumstances?

They might not be more at risk because of their skin color, more because of their social economic status.

The fear of racism does stop the CDC collecting any useful data to compare based on race.

But living closer together, more people together per house, that's the best way for the virus to spread.
