Jerome Adams Condescending Blacksplaining The Coronavirus!

Trump's Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams makes a condescending remark towards Black Americans.

U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams is cooning for Donald J. Trump.

In Friday's presser, Adams addressed the growing deaths of the coronavirus in the African American community. He figured that since Blacks are "socially adapt" to being underclass, he figured that we're just out having a good ol' time drinking, smoking and getting high on rocks and boy.

Adams has gotten backlash for making the assertion that Black and Brown folks should not smoke, drink or take drugs during this pandemic in order to curb the spread.

COVID-19 has impacted over 2 million people. It has killed in the United States over 25,000 people.

The U.S. has over 1 million confirmed case. I am inflating the number because everyday there's been an increase in deaths. Most deaths that aren't counted are due to the fact many weren't tested.

The areas of much concern are in Chicago, Houston, Detroit, New Orleans, Seattle, Washington, DC, New York City, Greenwich, CT, Philadelphia, Miami, Kansas City and San Francisco.

These cities have seen an uptick in death. New York City alone has over 5,000 deaths alone not including the state of New York itself.

Adams was talking to Yamiche Alcindor of PBS Newshour. Alcindor was the woman who made the news when Trump made that "You People" remark in regards to her asking a question about his remarks on Sean "Softball" Hannity's shitshow.

"You said that African-Americans and Latinos should avoid alcohol, drugs and tobacco. You also said do it for Big Momma and Pop Pop," said PBS's Yamiche Alcindor to Adams during Friday's White House press briefing.

"I said granddaddy, too," Adams noted.

Yamiche Alcindor questioned Adams on the remarks towards people of color.

"There are some people online who are already offended by that language and the idea that behaviors may be leading to these high death rates. Could you, I guess, have a response to those who might be offended by the language you used?" Alcindor asked.

Adams responded, saying that he used vernacular that he uses with his own family members.

"I've been meeting with the NAACP, with the National Medical Association. I actually talked with Derek Johnson multiple times this week, the head of the NAACP, and we need targeted outreach to the African American community," Adams responded. "And I used the language that is used in my family. I have a Puerto Rican brother-in-law. I call my granddaddy, 'granddaddy.' I have relatives who call their grandparents, 'Big Mama.' So that was not meant to be offensive."

"That is the language we use, and that I use, and we need to continue to target our outreach to those communities. It is critically important that they understand it's not just about them. We need to do our part at the federal level, we need people to do their parts at the state level. And we need everyone, black, brown, white, whatever color you are, to follow the president's coronavirus guidelines," he said.

Alcindor then asked if Adams would recommend that all Americans avoid behaviors such as smoking and drinking that would put them at risk for infection.

Adams responded, "Absolutely."

After Adams finished speaking, Fauci made a gesture from the sidelines, indicating that he would like to take to make a comment at the podium. President Trump then invited Fauci back on to the small stage in the press room and defended Adams, saying the comment was not offensive.

"Jerome, you did it beautifully. You can't do it any better than that," said Fauci. "I know Jerome personally. I can just testify that he made no — not even a hint of being offensive at all with that comment."

Trump's embattled COVID-19 Pandemic team includes Dr. Jerome Adams, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix.

Statistics continue to show that black and Latino communities are disproportionately impacted by the novel coronavirus, with federal and state lawmakers under increased pressure to release the racial breakdown of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

Adams was appointed in 2017 as the 20th U.S. Surgeon General. He was then the Indiana Health Commissioner from 2014 to 2017.

Adams is the son of Richard and Edrena Adams of Mechanicsville, Maryland, and grew up on the family farm. He attended Chopticon High School, graduating in 1992, in the top 5% of his class.

He then attended the University of Maryland Baltimore County through a full-tuition Meyerhoff Scholarship, a grant dedicated to minority students interested in the sciences. Adams received his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and his Bachelor of Arts in Biopsychology. He studied in the Netherlands and Zimbabwe.

Adams attended medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine as an Eli Lilly and Company Scholar. He also received a Master of Public Health degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 2000, with a focus on chronic disease prevention. Adams completed his internship in internal medicine (2002–2003) at St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, and his residency in anesthesiology (2003–2006) at Indiana University. He is board certified in anesthesiology.

He is an active member of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. He is married to Lacey Adams (nee Ringger) and has three children. He is African American.

Adams is a registered independent.

Let's keep reminding you that we do care about you. We care about the health and safety of our families, our friends, our fellow human beings globally and you the readers here at Journal de la Reyna. I repeat this constantly that we are all in this together. I despise Donald J. Trump and Republicans. However, we don't want no one to be affected by this at all.

Me, LeReyna, our families, our friends, our contributors and every acquaintance is at risk of COVID-19.

Here's the map.



With the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are being ordered to stay at home if they're sick and those who are able to work are doing under tight restrictions. Many companies had to lay off millions because of the spread of the coronavirus.

Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.

1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this.
