re: Mexicans and blacks 3 times as likely as whites to know someone who died of cv19

is it because they have so many relatives?

Has to do with:

A) Social Distancing. This I find actually to be a positive attribute of hispanic and black families over white families, since white people tend to be more individualistic and not talk or spend time around their extended families as much as Hispanics and blacks. It’s a strong community bonding that white families have been ignoring more and more as time goes on.

B) Public Transport. They just take it more than white people in general do.

C) Obesity. Mickey D’s is cheap and gives you energy. White people are just more likely to go to Whole Foods and eat organically.

It’s not remotely racist to point these factors out. It’s unfortunate they are more prone to this, but one of the factors I do find to be a good thing that I myself wish I did more of. It’s also why Italy and Spain had mass deaths compared to the rest of Europe.

What did you deduce from your study?

Deficiencies in vitamin D

Something like 98% of African Americans or Latinos with high melanin in their skin are vitamin d deficient. Vitamin d literally turns into a hormone that inhibits the virus from entering the cell membrane.

Look at Ethiopians in Sweden. They’re getting absolutely hammered by covid..Sweden gets like no sun. Their skin is dark inhibiting the intake of uvb radiation which boost vitamin d.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick...check her out

It's absolutely Vitamin D. There was a VA study that showed that black veterans were four times as likely to test positive as white veterans. There was another study indicating that African-Americans were five times as likely to get the virus. There's no way to get to those numbers with just cultural factors and comorbidities.

If Mexicans and blacks deal with racial issues, don't Asians?

So why do blacks and Mexicans always get grouped together in these statistics, yet Asians tend to not be and the #s compare closer to whites?

They’re also more likely to live in areas with the highest population density and have more people living in the same house/apartment

I feel sorry for the Mexicans.

No. I’m pretty sure the article is clearly saying white people are racist because they don’t have any black friends.
