It is politically incorrect to report but unless the race of the person is stated, the report is incomplete and does little to clarify or give greater understanding of the spread of this pathogen. Thus far it appears that Asiatics have a greater susceptibility for serious infection and death related to COVID-19 than Caucasians and Africans. Reasons:
1)Many Caucasians and Africans were living and working in Wusan. Apparently few if any of them became symptomatically infected and none have died
2) There were thousands of people who traveled from the Wusan epicenter to multiple points in North America between December 15- Jan 23. The virus is here. There have been no Korea or China like outbreaks.
3) The outbreak in Italy occurred in a region where there s a large population of Chinese immigrants and guest workers
4) the modern Iranian people have a large contribution from China in their genome. The Silk Road with numerous Chinese entourages transversed Iran and Iran was once conquered by the Mongols
Genetic susceptibility is the prime factor that makes a population vulnerable or resistant to any pathogen. Unfortunately this scientific fact is inconvenient and does not coincide with WHO’s prevailing globalist narrative. Also if scientists and journalists even consider genetic factors in their work, they are subject to career ending accusations of racism.
But you’re assuming that the virus won’t eventually mutate into a form that will kill more non-asisans.
Not true. I even gave a briefing a few years ago that certain Asiatic people have a genetic variant that makes them more susceptible to serious viral disease. This has been published in the scientific literature. Scientists are not falling over themselves to be politically correct.
