Anyone else notice that the majority of the deaths are Hispanic with black trailing in second and white a distant third?
Is that a possible sign of genetics in play or possibly a tie to socioeconomic status?

---

How about percentage of population by race that protested and rioted a month ago?

Certainly glad the gov is mandating people stay in their house and closing every park they can. Seems to be helping people store up that VitaminD.

Blacks and Hispanics are significantly more likely to be obese, have diabetes, and heart issues related to the first two than whites.

I guess I missed the native American component of the BLM protests!

I would be interested to see the same chart presented by socio-economic class instead of by race. (I realize that's not easy to do)

I imagine that could be where the correlation lies.

so the one thing that actually proves to be a real racist is the virus itself. What a dick.

Thank you!

As school is now about to start, I've been pouring over data for covid, flu and pneumonia for elementary kids. I've also been trying to find mask policies for countries who've been sending kids to school. The teachers on my Facebook are in hard "delay school" mode right now. No one cares about past flu seasons though.

That is because this isn't the flu. We have vaccines and therapeutics for the flu that we don't have for COVID so it isn't a very good comparison.

What "therapeutics" do we have for the flu? Tamiflu??

Here's a difference- if you get the flu you're on your ass for days with symptoms. The number of people with exceedingly mild or no symptoms from CV19 is massive. In fact, it's in excess of 95% from what I've seen. The issue is that the olds, fats, and sickies who get it tend to get hit hard. Just like the flu.

One of the more absurd things about CV19 is how there seems to be an infinite number of alleged complications with evidence for causality being specious at best.

If we PCR tested every flu "exposure" we might find that most people that are "flu positive" show minimal to no symptoms as well.

I wonder if these teachers would be as gung ho and in think of the children mode if they were told they'd be furloughed, take pay cuts, laid off, etc like the rest of America.

I know these back-dated deaths are the norm with their reporting, but one of those happened in April...

Dildo Beto on ch13 news pandering for statewide shutdown - same with story of Sly pushing the same thing

Shutdowns only delay.

If there's one lesson from March and April to June and July, it's that.

If hospitals aren't overwhelmed, you have to let this burn.

Was talking about this with my wife. She has two teacher friends who are the most naive, come from money, zero big picture perspective teacher types you can imagine. Both have actively voiced how great the quarantine has been, teaching lessons online, less time working, etc. they've treated it like an extended summer break. Wish they had to participate in a real job market.

There should be a law that anytime the government shuts businesses down whoever makes the decision doesn't get paid. Would guess we wouldn't see any more shutdowns after that.

And what do we do when the are overwhelmed?

2 more weeks

Do people really think another shutdown will just make this thing disappear?

It's here for the foreseeable future and we've got to adapt to living with it.

Live with it and take on as much as risk as you're personally willing to take. Don't feel it's safe enough to go out to eat? Then don't. Don't feel like it's safe enough to go to church? Then don't. Don't feel like it's safe enough to send you kid to school? Then don't.

But don't let your fear ruin it for the rest of us.
