I'm sure there are a number of reasons. However, people of all stripes have ignored masks and distancing. Go maskless to a protest, a party, a motorcycle rally, church, or a store, and spread this virus, even to people who are following the guidelines. @Stumpknocker – The data.

Even if that is the case, the hospitalization rate and mortality rate are both significantly higher for minorities. If you are African American and contract COVID-19, you are five times as likely to be hospitalized and twice as likely to die as a Caucasian. @StumpKnocker

Do you happen have a source for minorities not practicing social distancing?

You answered your own question. But really I am concerned that some of the kids will not get what they need at home. Not every parent, or household is equipped to assist their children at home. I sure would not have wanted to assist my children. Number one I am not a teacher, and when a child goes to school, usually starting in middle school, the teachers are specialized in their fields, Math, science, English. And it is pretty obvious by my comments I was not very attentive during English grammar class. Dang it Stumpknocker! You answered your own question.

When the pandemic hit yes in some areas not all minorities did have a spike in cases, but that was due to them not practicing social distancing. For example Easter this year where there was huge crowds of people at Pensacola Village, and there’s plenty more examples. @Lee explain how minorities are a higher risk than others.

Lots of those kids are also likely to have grandparents living in their homes. @Rafael – Risk is higher for minorities, many living in those areas.

Is their school that bad that they’d rather stay home? Were they targeted intentionally with pro-distance learning ads for a reason? Just somewhat curious this morning. Thoughts?
