Wow. There are a lot of Chinese in China.
This virus has not gotten far enough away from China to make such distinctions. Let’s see what it’s like in a month.
Not “calling you a racist.” It is something that is normal to assume. But it’s just too early.
To be fair, I posted this because of the links and a lot of people were posting about the ethnic component. There was even some research done by Chinese doctors on this aspect.
I expected to get flamed and called names. So what?
What I think?
There MAY be an ethnic component, non-Chinese and non-Asians will certainly catch this virus as they also did SARS. Some of them, unfortunately, will die.
I expect that fewer non-Chinese will die from this as it is similar to SARS - this may be due to a small ethnic factor OR the fact that the Chinese are heavy smokers with some 74% of males smoking!
It is common sense to assume that heavy smokers will be the first to succumb to any disease which affects lung function and in larger numbers.
Am I happy that this afflicts only Chinese? Of course not! Who is? This is horrible. I pray for the people of China and hope that this does not get worse.
