‘Cause for alarm’: COVID-19 hospitalizations worsen for Black L.A. County residents
LA Times ^ | 7/6

Posted on 07/06/2021 10:20:40 PM PDT by Tipllub

Coronavirus case and hospitalization rates are worsening for Los Angeles County’s Black residents, a troubling sign less than a month after California fully reopened its economy.

Between mid-May and mid-June, the COVID-19 case rate over a two-week-period rose 18% among Black residents but declined 4% for Latino residents, 6% for white residents and 25% for Asian Americans. And the hospitalization rate for Black residents — who are less likely than other racial and ethnic groups to be vaccinated — grew by 11% while declining for Asian American residents by 12%, Latino residents by 29% and white residents by 37%.

Experts expressed shock and alarm at the rise in hospitalizations among Black residents. The trend underscores how — despite L.A. County’s devastating autumn-and-winter surge — many unvaccinated and susceptible people remain. Doctors warn the latest figures could be a prelude to rising deaths in the coming weeks and months.

Little Tip for the experts: There are people out there that don’t want to be vaccinated.

More recent data, which will be released in the coming days, suggest that new coronavirus case rates have also started to increase among Latino and white residents.

What?

Shut down the state, herd the peasants into their dwelling until further orders.

Going to be fun to watch Biden’s stooges going door to door in Compton making people get vaccinated.

This is what happens in places like LA when they’ve jammed 25+ million people into about 100x45 mile wide corridor. Too many rats in the cage can cause problems.

Yes...that reads like “Hillary today announced she will be sorrowful tomorrow after Epstein’s girlfriend commits a double-tap headshot suicide.”

What if it is those “vaccinated” that are catching Covid? That seems to be the trend where I am.

I don’t know if their data here is accurate. But I certainly agree there are a lot of deceitful liars out there.☺

Fear porn. If you actually look at the numbers, black cases per 100,000 went from 39 (in two weeks) to 46 (in two weeks). That increase is statistically meaningless. Per day, that comes out to fewer than 7 cases per 100,000 black folks per day in each of the two week periods.

The troubling white decrease in cases was from 18 to 17 (per 100,000 again)

And it is cases. Not hospitalizations or deaths.

When the reporter changes it to percentages, it seems scary. But the changes are just statistical noise.

This is LA, a totally corrupt Democrat run and ruined Marxist shithole. There is no reason why the city couldn’t do what my county (Democrat run, just beginning on “ruin” has done, open up community centers and schools, including on weekends, for people to either schedule an appointment for walk-in for a vaccine shot.

The same could apply to mobile units going to churches which are traditionally social/issues centers for black communities. Nobody is stopping them from doing this except their own incompetence, stupidity, don’t care attitude and their willingness to do anything to smear Donald Trump even though he’s hasn’t been around since Jan, even if it means killing their own voters.

Garcetti, Gascon the Himmler of LA, and the rest of the congaline of coconuts are responsible for this fiasco, period.

Hospitalizations:
“For every 100,000 Black residents, 9.3 were newly hospitalized with COVID-19 in the two-week period that ended June 19. That was up from 8.4 in the two weeks that ended May 22.”

Most frightening: They are actually expecting people to take this seriously. And some will.

Here we have Black residents, Asian American residents, Latino residents, and, get ready, white residents.

white is no longer capitalized, so I must fall in line.

Yep! There’s a reason we limit the number of cattle per section. Look at Chronic wasting disease and see how fast it travels when you have high populations of deer in small area’s. The high fence ranches are especially vulnerable to fast transmission of disease.
