Michigan Data Supports Ghost Hypothesis

Earlier I hypothesized that blacks in NYC (and any other urban area) would be hard hit with the Wuhan virus:
It stands to reason that the high rates of CVD and Diabetes in the black community of NYC will play into higher death rates among Black people who get infected.
I had noticed a similar pattern in Michigan with the highest numbers of cases in Detroit with cases dropping the further away from Detroit you got. To me, that was clear evidence of a racial pattern in caseload. But you know, can't say bad things about black people, even if it saves their lives. So now data is out from Michigan

Blacks make up 14% of the population in Michigan. So when you see 30% and 40% infections and deaths, you know there is a racial component at play. I suspect we will see similar things in New Orleans and Atlanta in short order. I will say that this rather large "unknown" category is really strange.
