However you Die, you are Dead - no matter Race, Creed or Color

I am tracking the death toll that we are all obsessed over.  How many are dying of the virus. Or at least the reporting says so.

In the whole of the USA currently the toll is
18    34,687    1.1   32,823 actual 
19    38,156    1.17   38,046  PEAK
20    41,972    1.08   41,114  Starting to slow
at the same rate of increase here is what it looks like:
21    42,906    1.04  
22    45,051    1.05
23    47,304    1.05
24    49,669    1.05
25    52,153    1.05
26    54,760    1.05
27    57,498    1.05
28    60,373    1.05
29    63,392    1.05
30    66,561    1.05
1      69,889    1.05
I doubt with all my being it will get that far.  We'll see.

Yet at the same time Many are saying that an inordinate number of these deaths are taking a larger toll on people of Color.  I'm not sure about that.  But this much I do know.

In all of Illinois 1,290 have died of the virus.  877 of them are from Cook County.  Nearly 70% of all deaths in the county are African American.

This can't be helped.  There are many reason's why.  Yet at the same time.. the shootings and murders continue.

The toll on people of Color in Chicago from murders is way out of proportion.

These Charts are from a website that tracks urban shootings and murder.

While too many people in Chicago are dying of virus... the other virus lives on.
