What a sad story.
What accounts for the huge disparity in Native Americans contracting the disease?
I suspect the virus is somewhat related to other viruses Asia has suffered before. As a result the Old World has a bit of immunity. The New World people don’t have that protection. Old World diseases killed off 90 to 95 % of New World people.
I suspect it’s their cultural habits and lousy medical.
I’ve seen this on medical/forensics shows. It’s kind of like the ghetto combined with some socialist medical.
I have read before that descendants of people who survived the Black Plague have immunity or partial immunity to the disease.
This would explain the devastation of Native Americans. Like diseases of the past, they have no natural immunity.
This is the diabetes capital o for the world. What Custer and the Seventh Calvary couldn’t accomplish the government has with high fructose corn syrup and alcohol. It is sad.
A high incidence of diabetes. No running water in many homes, brought in by pickup truck. Multigeneration households with homes not set up to quarantine?
