Death rate among black and Asian Brits is more than 2.5 TIMES higher than that of the white population, reveals stark analysis by Institute of Fiscal Studies
2020-05-02
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Covid death rate in Black African Britons three times white British population

  • Deaths in Pakistanis 2.7 times higher, for Black Caribbeans it is 1.8 times greater

  • IFS report is the first to strip out age, geography and gender as risk factors
There is a cute bar graph at the link, showing the hospital death rates of various ethnic groups in England.
A different take on the same data:
UK finds lower income areas have double the death rate of affluent areas

[Jpost] Deaths from COVID-19 in deprived areas of England was more than double that found in well-off locations, with London by far the worst affected, according to official figures released on Friday.

The data from the Office for National Statistics, which covered deaths from March 1 to April 17, found there had been 20,283 deaths from the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, equating to 36.2 deaths per 100,000 people.

The figures also showed that the mortality rate from COVID-19 in the most deprived areas of England was 55.1 deaths per 100,000, compared to 25.3 per 100,000 in the least deprived places.

"People living in more deprived areas have experienced COVID-19 mortality rates more than double those living in less deprived areas," said Nick Stripe, head of Health Analysis for the ONS.

"General mortality rates are normally higher in more deprived areas, but so far COVID-19 appears to be taking them higher still."

The mortality rate in London was far higher than any other region at 85.7 deaths per 100,000 persons, nearly double the next highest figure elsewhere.
Cross-tab with public transport use and number of square feet of living space per resident...
The worst hit areas in the capital were the boroughs of Newham, Brent and Hackney, which are among the poorest. Newham's mortality rate was 1454.3 deaths per 100,000 population, the ONS said.

#11  African Americans are also at higher ris for hypertension, and coronoary artery disease. Irish Americans are more likely to get Type 2 diabetes. Men are far more likely to catch and die from Coronaviruse because they do not have the progesterone that women have (the theory is that Progesterone seems to have an inhibitory behavior on virus replication).

Its not racism to point out genetic disparities.

Despite all the liberal crap about "everyone is equal", we arent. And the sooner we face the facts, and treat them differently, the better for all of us.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Data is just data. The analysis is ...
