ABL: Are Black People MORE Affected By The Virus? Why?

[VIDEO] This has become a controversial topic lately. Van Jones a former Obama administration official got himself in trouble talking about this very issue. However, is Van Jones wrong? Anthony Brian Logan discusses in the video above.

During the last few days I've been sharing videos that illustrated mostly that the threat of this virus is overblown. I recognize that its highly infectious and definitely dangerous for those with these pre-existing conditions or elderly. I recognize that you shouldn't be at a crowded party as some in Chicago were recently and risk possibly an infection or even worse without an infection simply spreading the virus to someone it was adversly affect.

Van Jones isn't wrong to talk about lifestyle changes. It's documented that Blacks seem to have issues with asthma, high-blood pressure, diabetes, and perhaps other health issues. We often hear about health disparities as far as Black America. The coronavirus may put a spotlight on this, however, it also should out the spotlight on us as individuals and the choices as far as our health.

We see the measures put in place out there in the world especially if you go to the store for example. Social distancing is one way we can beat the virus, we don't have to be too close to anyone especially someone we don't know. We could always wash our hands more frequently that we've ever have in our lives.

Either way, why not have this discussion on health. This is the time! What can I do as a Black male to assure that I can avoid prevent at least some of these pre-existing conditions? What can I do to stay healthy? In what ways can Black Americans insure that they can be healthier once this pandemic has subsided?
