Memphis is 65% Black and Shelby County is 52% Black. Black people in Tennessee are also the least vaccinated demographic group at 35% so it's a safe bet that the majority of people being admitted there are unvaccinated African Americans with common comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.

You all keep fantasizing that these ICUs are just full of unvaccinated white trump supporters though.....
