Why are black people more likely to die from COVID-19 in the United States?
Racial disparity is a reality in this Pandemic. Dr Zeno Charles-Marcel explores some of the reasons why that is happening. Race and ethnicity are risk markers for other underlying conditions that impact health — including socioeconomic status, access to health care, and increased exposure to the virus due to occupation (e.g., frontline, essential, and critical infrastructure workers).

Sabbath Sermon: Pastor Ted Wilson on “God Will Have a People”
Yes, at the end of time, God will have a people…..a people who will remain true to pure truth, to a full biblical message, to the mission entrusted to them by God Himself. They will lean on Christ for all their needs. They will be fully accepting of Christ’s righteousness and indwelling power in developing their characters through His leading as they hasten His second coming. Christ’s Object Lessons, page 69, indicates, “’When the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle because the harvest has come.’ Christ is waiting with a longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. It is the privilege of every Christian not only to look for but to hasten the coming our Lord Jesus Christ. Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, how quickly the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel. Quickly the last harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come to gather the precious grain.” God’s people in the last days will give up selfish and human devising. His people will be humble people who will be loyal to God and not exhibit a spirit of rebellion or self-centeredness but will submit to the love of Christ. This people will plead for the falling of the latter rain of the Holy Spirit. This people will lift up the Word of God and believe every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. This people will proclaim the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14 and the fourth angel of Revelation 18 calling people out of confusion and back to the true worship of God recognizing that the seventh-day Sabbath is the special seal of God on His people in opposition to the mark of the beast which is the acceptance of Sunday, or any other day, as the day of worship advocated by the beast on which we will touch again later in this message. This people will not be swayed by cultural deviations from biblical truth. They will not be deterred, deflected, or distracted by anything deemed politically-correct in the social, cultural, religious, economic, or political arenas. This people will be completely aligned with God’s biblical plans, His prophetic revelations, His saving power, His Holy Word, His Spirit of Prophecy instructions, His overriding love, His commandments, and His plans for His church. God’s people will preach, live, and witness to others of His eternal love, His graciousness, His grace, His righteousness, His salvation, His three angels’ messages, and Christ’s soon coming. God will have a people of whom He will say…… ”You are My people” and they will respond to the Lord saying, “You are my God.” God speaks to us through Peter in I Peter 2:9-12 saying, “…..you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.” God will have a people who love Him so much that they connect with Him on a daily basis and their lives speak louder to those around them than any sermon could ever do. Regardless of what is thrown at God’s people, they are resilient and make the Lord their refuge and strength. They stand stalwart through the power of the Holy Spirit before the agencies and forces of evil who will never conquer them because God is on the side of His faithful people. God will have a people. A people in the final days who will allow nothing to absorb their attention from the final mission of sharing the powerful messages of the three angels of Revelation 14. God is calling us to be part of His last-day people. In line with our new quinquennial strategic plan title that states, “Reach the World—-I Will Go,” are you willing to say to the Lord, “I want to be part of Your people, completely committed to proclaiming Your three angels’ messages as we present the nearness of Your second coming? Will you say: "I will go?" Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ipChr6FdM0
