NOTE, this is not just a problem in Sweden.

In Finland, Helsinki authorities warned of a similar over-representation among Somali immigrants in the capital — some 200 cases, or about 14%, of all confirmed infections.

In Norway, where immigrants make up nearly 15% of the general population, they represent about 25% of confirmed coronavirus cases.

Vitamin D levels may impact COVID-19 mortality rates, study claims

Your body makes Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight.

Dark-skinned people in the far north (and nursing home patients who don't get outside) can expect Vitamin D deficiency unless they take supplements.

I guess the Swedes are racist after all.

Nice easy way of reversing their mistake of allowing their country to be overrun with jihadis.

Somalia has less than 1000 cases, and less than 50 deaths. They should have stayed home.

Somali and Iraqi immigrants - most likely to ignore social distancing.

I don;t see the problem...

It’s a good way to get rid of them...they can go back home instead.

"no one cares for taxi drivers in Sweden"

No one cares for waiters, waitresses, bartenders, barbers, hair dressers, and cosmetologists in the United States.

“Dark-skinned people in the far north (and nursing home patients who don’t get outside) can expect Vitamin D deficiency unless they take supplements.”

Testing indicates that the deficiency is almost as bad among fair-skinned people in the sunny climates. Apparently the body’s mechanism for converting sunlight to D isn’t particularly efficient, and requires a greater amount of skin exposure than one might think (and there are likely individual metabolic differences at play as well) - especially with respect to attaining “therapeutic levels” of D.

Notice that the article does NOT claim that immigrants experience a higher rate of DEATHS than native Swedes, only a disproportionate number of cases. I would suspect that most of the deaths are of elderly native Swedes.

So far, 80% of the MN deaths are in nursing homes so it may take a while for skinnies to show up in their numbers.
