Tyler Perry also emphasized the reality of COVID-19, saying that while everyone can contract the virus, Black People are dying from it in large numbers. He said:

"I heard a black person say, "Black people don't get it." That is a lie! You can get it, and you will get it if we don't do what we are being told to do."
