Much has been made in the last few days of a disproportionate number of Afro-Americans falling to COVID-19. This is claimed to be a failing of our HCS. The questions are, though:
Are a disproportionate % of a-A’s testing positive?
Are a disproportionate % of a-A’s dying in medium income or affluent areas, adjusted on a per capita basis?
How much of this is due to preferred diet? (I don’t quite “buy” the argument that a-A’s can’t afford healthy food - most that I see at Wal-Mart or Aldi are generally buying food that is more expensive AND less healthy than what I buy.)
Exactly.
The media poisons the water constantly with the term *controversial* all the time.
EVERYTHING is controversial to some nut. If I catch, cook, and eat a bluegill, and post a popular vid of the catch on You Tube, somebody will accuse me of cruelty to animals...
"Promising to eradicate Polio with $1.2 billion, Gates took control of India's National Advisory Board (NAB) and mandated 50 polio vaccines (up from 5) for every child before age 5.
Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating vaccine-strain polio epidemic that paralyzed 496,000 children between 2000 and 2017. In 2017k, the Indian government dialed back Gates' vaccine regimen and evicted Gates and his cronies from the NAB. Polio paralysis rates dropped precipitously.
In 2017, the World Health Organization reluctantly admitted that the global polio explosion is predominantly vaccine strain, meaning it is coming from Gates' Vaccine Program. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, the Philippines, and Afghanistan are all linked to Gates' vaccines.
By 2018, 3/4 of global polio cases were from Gates' vaccines.

And you thought he just f*cked up computers with viruses. He was just practicing, apparently.
Direct relationship to BMI/A1C.
Go watch old episides of Soul Train to see what average AA people’s BMI was in the 70’s.
Compare/contrast to today.
Do it for white people too...
It’s linked to insulin resistance, fasting insulin and A1C.
Which is why the idea of ‘letting it burn through’ the population based on what’s going on in Sweden is nuts. Sweden, as a country, has been on the Keto bandwagon for several years. And they have *never* had the proportion of fat people that the US has right now. Of any racial, ethnic, or age demographic group. And I say this as a fat woman.
Iran’s official numbers are about as trustworthy as China’s, but here’s an update:
ran confirms 1634 new COVID-19 infections
TEHRAN, Apr. 09 (MNA) – Iranian Health Ministry announced that during the past 24 hours, 1,634 COVID-19 cases have been detected across the country.
According to the ministry’s spokesperson Kianoush Jahanpour, the total confirmed infections have so far hit 66,220.
Making the remarks in his daily briefing on Thursday, Jahanpour noted that 117 patients have lost their lives during the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 4,110.

Thanks for the info.
throwing some numbers out
if the US averages 1000 deaths a day for the rest of April
21,000 new deaths
400 a day in may
12,400 total May
100 a day in June
3000 total June
total 36,400 more deaths by July 1st
current 14,797
total by July 1st 51,197
Seems reasonable. Let’s hope we do far fewer.

If the numbers work out like that, I would consider that a success (if you can call it that).

First City Jail Inmate Dies from Coronavirus
By Spectrum News Staff New York City
PUBLISHED 9:23 AM ET Apr. 06, 2020
NEW YORK - A inmate who tested positive for coronavirus died Sunday at Bellevue Hospital - the first detainee from a city jail to succumb to the virus.
According to the Legal Aid Society, Michael Tyson was on Rikers Island for a technical parole violation,
He had been in the hospital since March 26.
Advocates have been pressing the city and the state to release parolees from jails to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
As of Sunday morning, 321 staff members and 273 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19.

Do we think it will be totally gone by the end of June?
While I certainly hope so, that doesn’t seem realistic compared with other pandemics?
I can’t wait for normalcy again.
(yes, I know I know...)
I think it might wane, but I think it will come roaring back in the fall. Based on some history the second wave might be worse. I wish it would go the way of SARS...

Japan sees record 515 COVID-19 cases in a single day

Japan confirmed 515 people infected with the novel coronavirus on April 8, the first time new cases exceeded 500 in a day, according to government data compiled as of 11 p.m. April 8.
The infections push the country’s total number of cases to 5,693. Tokyo has recorded 1,338 patients with the virus in total, the highest number in Japan
If the numbers work out like that, I would consider that a success (if you can call it that).
I just used those as a starting point to see where we are at
anything over, such as 1000 a day in April, will have to be moved to another “slot” to keep those numbers..for example if 1700 deaths today , 700 needs to be moved to other days... (ie 500 to April 30th , 200 to May 1st etc)
Blow to Britain’s hopes for coronavirus antibody testing as study finds a THIRD of recovered patients have barely-detectable evidence they have had the virus already
- Nearly third of patients have very low levels of antibodies, Chinese study found
- Antibodies not detected at all in 10 people, raising fears they could be reinfected
- Explains why UK Government repeatedly delayed rolling them out to the public

In spite of the reality that the African continent has the world’s highest incidence of HIV and tuberculosis (among other diseases), Tedros yesterday called a proposal of French scientists to offer experimental treatments and/or vaccines to the African nations as ‘racist’.
So when Africans start dying by the hundreds of thousands, I hope Africa remembers it was not for want of trying to help.
== =
Now we start hearing about Africa.
So much for warmer weather knocking this stuff out.
Tedros is a despicable, ChiCom tool.
Do you mean disorders like sickle cell? Wouldn’t that explain African American populations getting hit hard, in addition to socio-economic/diet related issues?
