Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Sunday suggested that the underlying health conditions of Americans, in particular in minority communities, contributed significantly to the death toll from the coronavirus.

"Unfortunately the American population is a very diverse ...

It's about simple -- simple epidemiology and stating that, if we have hypertension, if we have diabetes, we present with greater risk of severe complications from corona -- from this coronavirus," Azar responded."That's -- that's all I was saying. And you know that," he said. Azar continued, saying,"This is not -- one doesn't blame an individual for their health conditions. That would be -- that -- that -- that would be absurd.

Give me a break!!!

Duh. Black Americans are less healthy than the average American.

Why are WHO's numbers drastically higher than CDC's? Who is telling the truth?

It's time WE ALL come to the realization that Trump's only interest is his re-election & that Trump couldn't care less about anything or anyone else. Trump will say and do anything he thinks will secure his re-election, even endangering other people's lives. Trump's no leader.

You may see Trump on television not wearing a mask but, anyone that comes near him must have their temperature checked, wear a mask, stand at least six feet apart and of course tested, twice if needed. Yet, Trump's subtle message is you don't need a mask. Ask yourself why?

And, what's Trump's healthcare plan?

Underlying health? Maybe if realDonaldTrump wasn't busy gutting Obamacare during a pandemic some Americans would have access to adequate medical guidance.

Well, no shit.

Hay naku!! Niw ut blaming the american people for their health status....how idiotic do u think these people are?

You were saying the same shit a couple weeks ago.

Sounds like he’s arguing in favor of affordable care. Someone should pass an act.

CNN will forever be known as ⤵️

True

stallfortime Azar blames the people who have died.🤣

The absence of a conscience in the White House is the major contributor.

Meanwhile Trump is in court trying to take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americans

A virus cannot & does not discriminate. This position PROVES disparities of minorities due to systematic oppression is REAL. Thank you Trump Administration for proving the ugliness of the United States in her oppression of minorities from the conception of this nation.
