You may have seen some of the conspiracy theories, myths or outright lies floating around the internet stating that black folks cannot get coronavirus.

Melanin is not Vibranium and America isn’t Wakanda even in the Marvel Universe, so  why some black people, who are often disproportionately impacted by medical conditions for a myriad of reasons, believe they are immune to coronavirus is beyond me?

For the record, people in 19 African countries have tested positive for coronavirus and for sure they are “black black.”

My point is coronavirus will kill you and other black people so wash your hands and stay away from others outside of your home as much as possible, especially older folks.

There is no conspiracy and black people can and are dying from this virus.
