We went to a wedding 2 weeks ago. Probably 100 people. 60% Hispanic, 30% white, 10% other. 3 masks. My wife and me, and a 70 year old grandma. We busted out the N95s for it.
I don't think it takes much of a brain child to get what Jock is saying here. Hispanics make up more of the cases in Dallas Co. than any other ethnic background (55% of hospitalizations as of 7/31, 43% of deaths) despite only being 41% of the population. He went to a large gathering of about 100 people, many of whom very likely work in essential type jobs, are more likely to live in multi-generational housing, and are less likely to have insurance/good health care or to take advantage of it if they do have it.DFWTLR said:
Lol, so you're counting Hispanics making sure it's ok for you to go into a store? Better tell my Mexican wife to sleep on the couch.
If the wedding was 2 weeks ago and you haven't heard of an outbreak you're in the clear.
And even if every single one of them got the haunted COVID, 96.5 of the 97 people would be fine (statistically speaking)DFWTLR said:Ol Jock 99 said:DFWTLR said:

Thanks for the racial breakdown??
Did any of the other 97 people get covid?
The majority of COVID spread happens in the household. Take a look at average size of household by race and % of multi-generational households and you will start to find some correlation.752bro4 said:I don't think it takes much of a brain child to get what Jock is saying here.

There were minimal, if any measures taking place to help reduce the spread, including violating orders on gathering sizes. It's probably safe to assume that other similarly sized events without masks and other precautions have been occurring, combined with the likely job types and other factors pointed out above, it's why the Hispanic community has been hit harder.
Fwiw Hispanics, Blacks and Asians have similar levels of multi-generational living and by some estimates Asians multi-generational families number 10-15% more than Hispanics. And yet Asians don't have nearly the same number of cases or deaths. So while multi-generational living may be an issue other factors are likely to be more relevant.752bro4 said:I don't think it takes much of a brain child to get what Jock is saying here.
