Almost Half of Swedish Coronavirus ICU Patients are Migrants
Breitbart ^ | 27 Dec 2020 | Chris Tomlinson

Nearly half of those in intensive care units (ICU) due to complications from the Wuhan coronavirus across Sweden are from migrant backgrounds.

A total of 46 per cent of those in ICUs in Sweden are from migrant backgrounds according to a report. Given that Sweden’s foreign-born population is around one-fifth of the total number of residents of the country, the figures suggest that migrants are serious over-represented in coronavirus statistics.

I suspect the same could be said of the units in Southern California.

I suspect the same could be said of the units in Southern California, probably, also in the big valley from S. Cal to the Sac area.

Given these facts (at least I think they’re factual):

1. Vitamin D deficiency makes one more susceptible to Covid;
2. Most recent immigrants in Sweden came from African nations;
3. Dark-skinned people experience serious vitamin D shortfalls when they move to northern climates unless they take suitable measures to counteract it.

It’s not at all surprising that immigrants in Sweden are over-represented in ICU’s today.

For sure.

Plus, the California Dept. of Public Health has finally admitted what was obvious for weeks. They’re cooking the books to make things look worse than they are. Here’s the trick:
“CDPH says it calculates the adjusted ICU capacity based on the proportion of ICU patients who have COVID-19. “If a region is utilizing more than 30% of its ICU beds for COVID-19 positive patients, then its available ICU capacity is adjusted downward by 0.5% for each 1% over the 30% threshold,” according to the CDPH office of public affairs.”

Maybe they stand closer to one another when they talk.
It’s a cultural thing.

you’re probably correct. but not a result of lack of Vit D.

Migrants have the mindset that the govt will take care of all their needs - seeing how the govt already has, at the expense of citizens. Our immigration policies aren’t bootstrap programs, they’re nursemade programs. Special privilege has been reinforced for migrants - either being permissive over rioting and/or being permissive over who is considered an ‘essential’ worker and/or eligibility for free money disbursed by ‘community groups’ that ensure only minority members like-minded with their community leaders get the money. This gives them a sense of freedom, and status, (and in most cases a first in their lives sense of power) over the rest of the peasants forced to stay home.

So they have a cavilier attitude - Medi-Cal will take care of them and there won’t be a bill. (and if there is a bill, they’ll just change their sirnames around and ‘disappear’). If they die, their family will sue. They don’t care about spreading to other ethnicities because of their credo: “For us everything, for them nothing.” Its a win win for them. And so they continue to smuggle covid relatives over the border and party like it’s 1999.

Then, free rent and free groceries/ETB card.

Some will ask the medical receptionists for bus or cab fare to go back to their rent free lodging.
