Why does it have to come to race. Why can’t we just put it to people?
Older people are hit harder than anyone, no matter what race. Why isn’t that studied and a better use of facilities designed?
Facts we know. I’ll use the 75-and-older numbers from the CDC: For ages 75 to 84, hospitalizations (30.5 percent), ICU stays (10.5 percent), and deaths (4.3 percent) are already high, and the key metrics go up even higher for people 85 and older; 31.3 percent hospitalized, 6.3 percent in the ICU, 10.4 percent fatality rate.
One note: The ICU stays could be lower for the oldest people as the disease can progress so quickly that they don’t even have an opportunity for intensive care.
We got a lot more numbers for everybody rather than a targeted race which has old people too. Get realistic.
