Coded language prevails

Coded language prevails I do no recognize my country anymore. A nearby city will sponsor two “Health Disparity Awareness Events” funded by a grant from the Ohio Commission on Minority Health. Fat, sick black people, anyone? Screenings, tests and Zumba-exercise demos are part of the events. Low income gets you some of this ‘healthful’ stuff free. I do not recognize my country anymore. Boston is today a city with people told to “shelter in place.” Each and every official then translates this to mean ‘stay home.’ Why not just use plain English and not weird code words?
