BLACK LIVES MATTER? Black Americans in NYC up to 40% less likely to suffer severe COVID-19.

Black people in New York City are up to 40% less likely to experience serious illness from COVID-19 and have a 30% lower risk for death than White people, according to an analysis published ... by JAMA Network Open.

This is despite the fact that they are 30% more likely to test positive for the virus, the data showed.

Obviously I'm going to get accused of racism, hate speech, and whatever the other progressive buzzwords for "you're not one of us so you must be evil" are, but ...

... as the article implies (but doesn't make explicit), the urban black population in NYC are more likely to live in crowded, relatively unsanitary conditions where they are much more likely to have strong immunity systems. I've asked the same question before with respect to California's homeless population -- why aren't the street people dying in droves?

No one in the chattering (or governing) class seems to be willing to address the question.
