Researchers tested 4,160 people for Coronavirus in a San Francisco neighborhood. Not a single white person tested positive.

A coronavirus testing project in San Francisco has provided yet another example of how COVID-19 is overwhelmingly affecting people of color.

Diane Havlir, the director of the HIV/AIDS division at the University of California, San Francisco, noticed early in the pandemic that young Latino men were arriving at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital with coronavirus symptoms more often than any other demographic. So she conducted a research project that involved testing 4,160 residents of San Francisco's Mission District — and found that not a single white person tested positive, Stat News reports.

Havlir's project focused on a single, 16-square-block census tract in the Mission district, "one of the city's most densely populated and heavily Latinx neighborhoods," Stat News writes. A third of the tract's residents are white, while 58 percent are Hispanic, the U.S. Census estimates. But 95 percent of those who tested positive were Latinx, while no white person in the tract tested positive.

Just like testing and death rates are revealing across the country, "what really comes out of these data is that low-wage essential workers are victims of this disease," Havlir told Stat News. And with 53 percent of those who tested positive showing no symptoms of coronavirus, it's even more clear that allowing workers to stay home only if they feel sick may not be enough to stop the spread.

Were any caucasians actually tested?

Trust but verify.

That was my first question too. I am surprised it took 23 posts, for someone to actually ask the question. 🤗

RE: So, what is the point of this article?

So that wise folks can determine the reason why this is so.

Racism. 😁🤪

yahoo cherry-picked the crap out of the stat news article.

Statnews headline:"When hard data are ‘heartbreaking’: Testing blitz in San Francisco shows Covid-19 struck mostly low-wage workers"

from stat news:
While Havlir expected to see the Latinx community hit hard by the virus, the actual numbers came as a shock. About 2% of people tested positive for the coronavirus. Nearly all of them — 95% — were Latinx. The other 5% were Asian or Pacific Islander. Not a single white person tested positive, though 34% of the tract’s residents are white, according to the U.S. Census; 58% are Hispanic.

2% is 83 people. 53% or 44 people were asymptomatic

This looks like a graph of obesity rates or hygiene.

Maybe they had it already. Did they test for antibodies?

*blacks are more likely to use public transportation.

Dang it!

Somebody must have spilled the beans!

They're on to us!

“...allowing workers to stay home only if they feel sick may not be enough to stop the spread.”

This is the endgame. And then welfare, dependency, and endless left-wing voting.

lol

yeah it picks on people that live like animals

[blueplum]

or maybe what it really shows is that white folk are more likely to adhere to stay-at-home and social distancing rules, and minorities are more likely to disregard social distancing as not applicable to them

The left is pushing hard for a race war.

You are obviously not following the Science.

[farming pharmer]

Gay men are known for casual sex. Why haven't we seen clusters of infections in gay communities?

Widespread use of anti viral drugs? Given their horrifically filthy lifestyle, I also though homos would be coronavirus central. Who knew?

You are obviously not following the Science.

Obviously, you follow the science that makes you feel good and superior, while it's just pure garbage.

[Paladin2]

Why is anybody tracking CV2 by race/ethnicity if not to sow discention?

What possible explainations of the data do you propose?

[HereInTheHeartland]

Not many whites live in the Mission district!

Also I would question what was her sample population? Where did she find the people to test?
Did she deliberately only sample Hispanics?

I don’t believe any of them.
They bastardize scientific methods to fit their agenda.

[lizma2]

Malaria and chloroquine?

I guess I must've been interpreting your posts the wrong way.

But, there are many who would take the results, even if junk science, to make themselves feel superior.
