A steady stream of research has shown vulnerable communities across the United States are impacted the most by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a new study uncovers a stunningly huge inequity among a specific group in California.
Researchers at the University of Southern California found Hispanic immigrants of working age, that is 20 to 54-year-olds — are 11.6 times more likely to die of the virus than U.S.-born men and women who are not Hispanic. Looking at Hispanics of the same age who were both U.S.-born and foreign-born, the death rate was 8.5 times that of whites.

COVID is the fault of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson? Who knew?
Ummmm...I think there’s reasons for this...
I don’t speak very much Woketard so hep me out. Is Woke Amy referring to illegal aliens?
So the CCP targeted ethnic minorities? Hmmmm......
I’d guess it’s because Hispanics are the last of the rugged individuals left in America. They escaped a crap country to come here, work hard, and work through pain and discomfort without running to the doctor every time they get the sniffles.
In the case of Covid though, it may have been a mistake. Nothing to do with systemic structural gobbledygook, more to do with their culture. Just my guess.
Is this “study” by the same people who made a “study” claiming taxes are good for an economy?
Working age people have an almost zero death rate from Covis-19. 10 times almost zero is still almost zero.
I kind of doubt that idea. Many of my patients in the hospital were Hispanics and often they came in when they had the flu. I always thought it odd because when I have the flu I just go to bed. Their fevers weren’t high, they did not have been respiratory problems from it, just cases of mild flu and they went to the hospital.
Yes there is a very plausible reason for higher Hispanic so-called virus deaths in LA County. I did my own analysis of LA County Public Health Dept. data and it showed that Hispanic zip codes had the highest death rates; but also much lower death rates in nearby Hispanic zip codes, both low income. The only factor I could find that was significant in the high virus death rate zip codes and neighborhoods was they had substantially higher percentage of Foreign Born. Even in the suburb of Glendale with high Armenian population, the one zip code that high virus death rate had a much higher proportion of Foreign Born. This leads me to suspect that higher virus deaths are related not to poverty, not necessarily to even culture or ethnicity, but to high percentage of dormant Tuberculosis carriers. TB has same symptoms as C-19 (respiratory). So, high foreign born percentage in areas that are part of Sanctuary Cities is suspected due to plausible TB.
Funny how they never mention the hard numbers in this age group.
Obviously due to systemic racism not ended by Donald Trump.
“vulnerable communities across the United States are impacted the most by the COVID-19 pandemic”
No chit. Vulnerable communities like nursing homes? The vulnerable are - vulnerable? Nobody gave a crap about what happened to the elderly. Guess it wasn’t “inequitable” enough.
Send them home to Mexico and other cesspool countries that they came from.
Interesting
Were they uninsured? A doctor's office can turn the uninsured away, but the ER must treat you, even if you have no insurance.
Couple that with higher rates of Type 2 diabetes and this is unsurprising.
Why are they vulnerable???? Genetics perhaps?? Or less likely to seek medical assistance?
Just because something has an outcome outside the average doesn’t meant it’s because of a societal or racist factor
Probably more likely to hang around together in larger numbers...
I wonder what the racial make up of the nursing home deaths in NY was? That would be an interesting stat.
Don’t believe a word if it.
One if those “studies” that starts with a conclusion and they find or gin up supposed data to show it. Context be damned.
