ATLANTA -- In a new report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that LGBTQ people in the US are more likely to have many of the severe underlying health conditions associated with severe disease from COVID-19.
However, the agency noted that a lack of data around LGBTQ populations in current COVID-19 surveillance systems is preventing more nuanced examination and assistance to these groups.
Just another “World ends, women and minorities hardest hit” story.
I don’t believe a word they say.
LGBTQ, huh? Thank goodness the + are spared!
“ The brief also notes that the LGBTQ community is more likely to be uninsured, more likely to not have access to equitable medical care, more likely to live in poverty or be housing insecure, more likely to smoke or have asthma, and more likely to experience depression or anxiety than the general population. All of these risk factors are compounded for people of color within the LGBTQ community and transgender people, especially transgender people of color.”
"This analysis found that several underlying health conditions that increase or might increase the risk for more severe COVID-19–related illness were more prevalent among sexual minority persons than heterosexual persons, both within the overall population and within specific racial/ethnic groups. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and the increased prevalence of certain risk factors among sexual minority members of these racial/ethnic minority populations is of particular concern."
Same here...I’m far more concerned about the + than any other group. Can’t live without the +!
Well, while anyone ‘can’ get HIV it really is far more common among gay men. The CDC data shows they’re about 40x more likely to contract it. Why? Just the shear mechanics of what they do has a higher transmission rate.
...similar for other viruses & disease. I’d guess the numbers are primarily around gay men but they didn’t want to single them out - so we just get told ‘LGBTQ’ people.
Interesting claim that their pets - black people and gays - are more at risk from covid-19.
“Why are they at a higher risk?”
There you go, looking for logic and reason. All you need to know is that LGBTQ are “marginalized people long suppressed by the hetero white patriarchal hegemonic structure.” Don’t ask questions!
BS.
They’re just trying to get onto the social diversity ladder that (also erroneously) said that black people were at higher risk of worse covid results.
First because of nebulous “science” then because of systemic racism and economic conditions. (as if poor white people don’t have the same problems)
More BS
So what the hell is the "I" now??
I still don't know what the damn "Q" is. Is it Queer or Questioning... or something else?
We live in an INSANE world now.
Quite simple to the Dem side.
Covid has an uncanny method within each molecule of having knowledge of whether it is attacking a black person, an LGBTQ+ person or others. Covid is racist and homophobic./s
A little off topic but the cells of the human body are contextual as well as inter-relational. That is true. So if you feel happy and in love, cells in your toes and your entire body feel and respond to it. Same with anger and sorrow. I think that is interesting. Part of how stress and anxiety lead to health problems, apparently.
So the Chinese Wuhan Flu is Queer?
-PJ
Yup.
just another step in God’s way of cleansing the perverted gene pool because aids didn’t work...
God had a grand design.
IMO < the farther you go from that grand design, the more
likely you’re going to need warranty service.
Not really trying to come down on people for their choices,
but this seems rather logical to me.
So?
So are old people and the only thing the left did was target them for elimination.
