COVID-19 Cases by Race and Ethicity

[SanDiego619]

Nope.....I've got white trash relatives and beaner relatives and it's too totally different ways of thinking/life. sometimes there's some overlap but only when the Hispandex person is really white.

Hispandex folks love living and being around people......me and my white trash kin like being left alone. It ain't that were not social but having a snot ton of relatives over that I don't really like just because they're family is not fun to me......but Beaners oh they love nothing more than getting drunk and fighting with family in mass, at a little kids birthday. It's ****ing reedickyoulous, birthday kids crying, everyone's ****ed up and they ain't even cut the ****ing cake yet.

It's cultural.

That doesn't sound fun at all - ruining every single gathering by fighting.

I would put good money that the numbers stay the same if you change it from ethnicity to Socioeconomic status...

It is the case here in San Francisco. The worst hit areas are in the poorer areas (Tenderloin, Mission, Bayview and South of Market). They also happen to be the most racially and ethnically diverse areas.

So what I’m seeing is that some traceable socioeconomic factors can have a significant influence on the rates of transmission and morbidity/mortality.

People living within close proximity to one another who also have underlying health conditions and do not follow the recommendations to slow transmission.

It isn’t biological factors that are disproportionately affecting POC, it’s cultural practices.

If you are fat you will die

Doesn't take much brain cells to understand, and it's been clear since the beginning. If you are poor you pack your house with people. If you are poor you can't telework. If you are poor you don't want to pay for effective respirators. If you are poor you likely lack education and knowledge about how pathogens work. If you are poor your diet is often poor due to lack of knowledge. And so on. Then add on top of that cultural practices that others have noted.

If you are a well educated fairly well off misanthrope who hated all people and prefers to be a shut in? You're going to live forever ��

You bought that clarity hook line and sinker. This virus is not racist nor does it thrive on poor. The graph is close enough reflecting the state dem graph that it is an equal opportunity provider. It does seem to be more dangerous for people of poor health and overweight. Not all poor people are overweight or in bad health.

Only partially true..Latinos by culture are very family oriented. They will have family over to party in a mijo soils his diaper....or any Rams, Cowboys or Dodjer game

You forgot the Raiders.

that's not true at all, and the data bears that out. who said anything about a virus being racist, or thriving? it's just risk factors, plain and simple. and if you are poor, you tend to run more risk factors. poverty is higher among black and brown, so those communities have higher mortality rates. cultural factors also play a role of course, as noted. note i'm discussing only LAC / CA data; wherever you live probably has similar trends with modifications for regional differences.

http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/med...data/index.htm is LAC data dashboard. you can examine this data yourself and present a cogent counterargument if you'd like.

Limbaugh just had a doctor from SoCal on about a half hour ago explaining the illegal immigration and covid connection.

To sum it up most illegals (which are mostly latino) can't telework due to manual labor, landscaping, and farm jobs.

Second point was that a lot of illegal households are packed beyond absurdity and there's no way to effectively quarantine. Likened illegal households incubating covid to mosquitos in a pond incubating during the yellow fever a century ago.

For this group of people the lock downs are the most devastating. They would be better off if they did not all have to stay at home and instead did their regular job/work and then avoid Abuela/Abuelo when at home until this blows over.

Expect any real science around why this happens to be quashed so this can be used as an excuse to redistribute wealth as the PTB have already told us that this is in part due to lack of resources in some poor communities and not the illegal factor and the multi-family/multi-generational households in hispanic communities. Illegals can do no wrong in the eyes of the liberal, so don't expect this to get fixed through education programs in affected communities. Instead their will be a big push to extend social/welfare programs to illegals permanently.

For those unware, shortly after Newscum introduced his tiered lock down program with no green or white or all clear tier he added an 'equity' metric. What that means is if you live in Rivco or San Berdoo county where the cost of living is cheaper and so many more hispanic families tend to live the chances of getting into a lower tier are made more difficult by the 'equity' metric that is intended by the benevolent dictators to focus more resources in the poor communities. While that may sound well intentioned, the fact is that you are not going to see hospitals and clinics pop up in these areas, it's just not going to happen. The governor is responsible for the number of hospitals in this state so if he wanted to he could try to get the resources to build some clinics and hospitals in the areas where they seem to be lacking those resources, but he won't , so the end result of the altruistic 'equity' metric is longer lock downs and more economic damage in the poorest areas.

If your real intent was to create a dependent class that exists on government subsistence payments, this would be a great plan.


The state dashboard supports the numbers posted by OP. But the interpretation should go beyond just the racial impacts. For example, the data here shows that fully 93% of those who perished from this were over 50, while the bulk of infection is in those 18~50. In that group only about 7% were fatal, about 1600 of the 23,000 deaths. So the part of the population that has had almost 60% of the infections, 1.1 million people, suffered a tiny number of fatalities. And under 17? 234k infections, less than 10% of the total, and 4 deaths.

In our state white/Caucasian folks are tops in every single category like Latinos in California. Its different state to state.
