Dr. Explains Blacks Higher COVID Rates

How to Stay Safe-there’s a reason why African Americans are dying of COVID that no one is talking about, and it has nothing to do with inner city poverty. Many blacks have a genetic vulnerability to multi-system organ failure leading to death caused by COVID. Hope lies in simple public health measures which African Americans and all Americans can do now to be safer against COVID. Timing is critical because flu season is less than four months away. If we wait till then, it will be too late. Jeff Gusky, MD FACEP is an emergency physician who can explain why genetic vulnerability is partly to blame for higher COVID death rates in African Americans, and what we can all do now to be safer against COVID. Dr. Gusky says: Higher concentrations of an enzyme in the tissues of African Americans may explain why multi-organ failure leading to death is affecting African Americans more frequently than whites. More specifically in African Americans, the science is showing that an ACE 2 receptor on blood vessels (also linked to increased rates of high blood pressure in African Americans) is attacked by COVID causing a cascade of tragic consequences where the body attacks itself leading to multi-organ failure, vasculitis, thrombosis and death. A simple solution: Catastrophic spread of COVID ONLY happens INDOORS. But we spend 90 percent of our time INDOORS. To make the INDOOR air we breathe safer against COVID, we must maintain INDOOR humidity between 50 & 60 percent around-the-clock until the crisis has passed. When INDOOR air becomes dangerously dry, small viral outbreaks can become massive COVID catastrophes. By simply adding water to the air we breathe INDOORS, viral spread is substantially decreased, a natural protective barrier against COVID in our respiratory tract is optimized http://tiny.cc/suzqpz, and COVID infectivity on surfaces and in the air is substantially reduced. INDOOR humidity is the ONLY offensive weapon we have against COVID http://tiny.cc/vk0qpz between now and a vaccine.
