Coronavirus Updates: After Pressure, NYC Releases Racial Breakdown Of COVID-19 Deaths
Gothamist ^ | 4-8-2020 | Elizabeth Kim
Posted on 4/8/2020, 11:26:58 AM
Latino and black residents in New York City have higher mortality rates from coronavirus, according to preliminary numbers released by the city on Wednesday morning.
The early data shows that of those who have died from coronavirus in the city, 34 percent were Latino residents, while 28 percent were blacks.
Black New Yorkers have the highest crude death rate: 23.1 out of 100,000 people. Latino New Yorkers have the second highest reported death rate, 21.3 out of 100,000. But adjusted for age, the death toll is slightly higher for Latinos, who have a death rate of 22.8 versus 19.8.
The released data represents only 63 percent of reported deaths in New York City because according to the city, the vast majority of cases are reported by labs and often did not have race or ethnicity data.
Both rates for blacks and Latinos are significantly higher than of whites, which have a crude death rate of 15.7 per 100,000, and an age-adjusted death rate of 10.2
Asians have the lowest death rate from the disease. Among those who have died, 7.2 percent were Asian.

NYC Mayor: Ventilator Need ‘Much Less Than Expected’
The Epoch Times ^ | 04/08/2020
Posted on 4/8/2020, 1:38:17
NEW YORK—New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on April 8 that the city’s need for ventilators is much lower than projected.
“In the last few days, we’ve actually seen fewer ventilators needed than were projected,” de Blasio said. “We expected the number of ventilators being needed being more and more going into this week. We’ve seen actually much fewer needed than we expected.”
Last week, the city’s daily need for ventilators grew by 200 to 300 units as hospitals dealt with a surge of COVID-19 patients. The growth has dropped off dramatically this week, with 100 or fewer ventilators added every day, according to de Blasio.

Racial breakdown of NYC coronavirus deaths reveals ‘disparities,’ de Blasio says
NY Post ^ | 04/08/20 | Julia Marsh and Natalie Musumeci
Posted on 4/8/2020
The Big Apple’s African American and Hispanic communities are being hardest hit as the coronavirus pandemic rips through the five boroughs, preliminary statistics released by City Hall show.
Hispanic New Yorkers account for 34 percent of the coronavirus fatalities despite being 29 percent of the city’s population.
The stats also revealed that African Americans make up 28 percent of COVID-19 deaths — even though they are just 22 percent of the city’s population

Fauci says the coronavirus is 'shining a bright light' on 'unacceptable' health disparities for African Americans
Business Insider ^ | 4/8/20 | Jake Lahut
Posted on 4/8/2020, 2:04:20
Dr. Anthony Fauci took time during Tuesday's White House coronavirus press briefing to draw attention to societal problems, delving into how African Americans in some states had been harder hit by the novel coronavirus in terms of intensive-care intubations and risk of death compared with the rest of the population.
In Chicago, more than half of all COVID-19 positive test results and 72% of recorded virus-related deaths have been among African Americans, who make up just 32% of the city's population and 15% for the state of Illinois.
In parts of Wisconsin, the numbers have been even more disproportionate. Seventy-three percent of all COVID-19 deaths in Milwaukee County have been among black people, who make up under half of all positive test results and just 28% of the county's population.
Fauci raised the subject after President Donald Trump left Tuesday evening's briefing halfway through.

Exactly, our leader Gretchen in MI announced today she is creating a task force to look into the health care discrepancies between whites and blacks in this situation. That's not the issue.

I like her for the most part and agree that there are discrepancies btw races. But, not EVERYTHING is race. The reason why black/brown folks are getting infected at higher rates is in large part because of their personal choices/practices. Now, once they get sick it may be worth looking into why they may or may not be getting adequate care.
I'm sure we've talked before but I cannot remember where in Michigan you reside. I am in Wayne County.

I live in the Texas, where literally everyone is obese, but the african american population has the highest rate of obesity (around 40% in 2018).
I think Texas should start a McDonald's task force to ensure there are no racial discrepancies with their offerings.

Oh shut the fuck up about behavior. You can replace "black" with "poor" or homeless and its the exact same statistic. The poor doesn't have access to medical services or checkup and usually work low end jobs like fast food, cashier at Walmart, grocery clerk, etc where they stand a greater chance of getting the virus

The behavior is an absolute factor. The black community denying it and refusing to self police is pushing more and more white people out of their corner. In my last post I addressed my concerns about inadequate health care. Lastly, I drive through neighborhoods in Detroit regularly. Shit neighborhoods, nice neighborhoods. Know what they all have in common? Fucking bars on windows and doors. When I drive to Columbus I pass through a shithole, meth infested area filled with hillbillies. Guess what? No bars on doors, no fucking public gatherings during a pandemic. Spare me the bullshit. Black and brown people are systematically disadvantaged in America. I get it. They need to start raising the bar for themselves. Period. I think Bill Cosby got hung out to dry for calling black people out. And you? They fucking hate you. Being a homo and all.

Which neighborhood in Columbus?
-
Getting the virus at a higher rate could be attributed to behavior. Dying at a higher rate, underlying health issues. I think... this is gonna hurt... I think Vince is right. You can use minority, poor, homeless interchangeably on why the death toll percentage is higher.

Which neighborhood in Columbus?
I was talking about cities on the way to Columbus from Detroit. Kenwood might be one of them. My sister lives in Hilliard.

I agree with him too as pertains to mortality rates and treatment. Infection rate though they have to take some responsibility.

The Coronavirus is Not Killing Minorities Because of Racism - Greenfield

The Coronavirus is Not Killing Minorities Because of Racism
Democrats exploit pandemic to push racial agendas and conspiracy theories.
Fri Apr 10, 2020

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
As the coronavirus was doing its deadly work, Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Cory Booker, and Senator Elizabeth Warren dispatched a letter to the Secretary of Health and Human Services demanding racial and ethnic data about the sufferers. Why demand information of that sort? Identity politics for profit.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez made that agenda even more obvious by tweeting, "COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities. Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions. Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations."
New York City’s government had made the death toll much worse by ignoring the coronavirus and focusing on racism instead. New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot had wrongly told New Yorkers that they couldn't catch the disease on the subway while focusing on her "racial equity lens."
The racialization of the coronavirus is a cynical attempt to shift the subject from fighting the virus to divisive identity politics. But the “wealth gap” and “environmental racism” are not killing people.
While coronavirus cases have spiked in poorer areas of New York City, they’re highest in the wealthiest areas of Los Angeles. What Beverly Hills and the Bronx have in common isn’t wealth or race.
Why else does Beverly Hills have twice as many cases as Compton?
At the same time, in some places, black people are dying at higher rates than white people. And while lefties reflexively respond to any instance of disparate impact by crying racism, the reasons are more complicated than the cynical political narratives being advanced by Elizabeth Warren or AOC.
The coronavirus hits the elderly hardest. And the elderly are most at risk in multigenerational households. The groups that are suffering the worst from the coronavirus are multigenerational.
Asian people have the highest rates of multigenerational living in the United States at 29%. 26% of African-Americans live in multi-generational households, but only 16% of whites do.
In New York City, a city that has largely lost its white working class, the white multigenerational numbers are far lower. Much of the white population is upscale, young and single. That is a group that is far less vulnerable to the coronavirus than the older multigenerational black families living in the Bronx.
But the coronavirus is also killing the remaining multigenerational white communities in the area.
An Italian-American woman and her three children all died of the coronavirus while four other family members were infected after a family dinner in a high-profile case in nearby New Jersey. Orthodox Jews, who are as likely as Asian-Americans to live in multi-generational household, have also been suffering.
What unites these groups is not racism, but a more traditional way of life.
The coronavirus has been hitting blue urban areas where white people are less likely to live in traditional ways. As the virus heads deeper into the country, going beyond the urban and suburban enclaves where immigrants and tourists nurtured the pandemic, it will impact more traditional white communities.
And yet, because dense urban areas like New York are its best feeding ground, it’s possible that there will be racially disproportionate numbers. But it will be due to the collapse of the urban middle class, not racism. The same trends that priced the middle class out of major cities, leaving no middle ground between poor urban welfare housing and a white upper class, are responsible for these numbers.
The white working class and middle class may have been saved by being forced out of the cities. But this is a collateral effect caused by the wealthy white elites who are Warren and AOC’s biggest backers.
The Chinese virus does not have to affect minorities more. It hit those parts of Los Angeles that are older and more prone to socializing. Why is Beverly Hills so much harder hit than Compton or Boyle Heights? Its average age is also much older than Compton. Bel Air has the fourth highest average age in Los Angeles. So it’s not surprising that it’s among the places hardest hit by the coronavirus.
The Bronx in New York has a much higher average age than Compton or Boyle Heights in LA. That’s why it’s badly affected by the coronavirus, while Compton and Boyle Heights, outwardly similar, aren’t. While high real estate prices hit the white working class of New York City hardest, there has also been an ongoing exodus of black millennials from the city. The Bronx has become more diverse and older.
Lefties like AOC want a simplistic narrative of racism, but that ideology is exactly what politicized the disease and initially led her allies in New York City to insist that fearing the virus was racist.
Black people are dying because Mayor Bill de Blasio and his allies put race ahead of public health. Warren and Cortez want to do the same thing all over again. And there will be blood on their hands.
Identity politics is a tragedy. And it’s another reason why black people are dying of the Chinese virus.
"Something that is scaring me, when I read the comments and some of the reactions, my people, black people, please, please understand that coronavirus is ... you can get it," Idris Elba had posted on social media after coming down with the virus. "There are so many stupid, ridiculous conspiracy theories about black people not being able to get it. ...That is the quickest way to get more black people killed."
Elba was addressing the widespread memes on social media which claimed that black people were immune because of melanin. Memes falsely claimed that there were no coronavirus cases in Africa. Media editorials by African-American writers urged black people not to believe that they were immune.
The real racism was an internal belief in racial superiority spread by hate groups like the Nation of Islam.
“The good news is, we should not be overly anxious about an attack or about a virus, but what we should be anxious about is our slowness to disconnect ourselves from a nation that is in the crosshairs of the Lord of the worlds," Farrakhan's spokeswoman, Minister Ava Muhammad of the NOI, had claimed.
Democrats, including Barack Obama and Rep. Jim Clyburn, a close Biden ally and the third-ranking House Democrat, who is in charge of coronavirus stimulus oversight, have met with the hate group leader.
In Milwaukee, ProPublica, a left-wing site, documented a higher black death rate even as it noted the, “pushback among those who recalled other painful government restrictions — including segregation and mass incarceration — on where black people could walk and gather."
This is an attempt at racializing cultural differences and then blaming racism.
The multigenerational vector of the coronavirus reveals multiple tragedies. The Chinese virus is a social evil that seems to attack good social behavior, like going to churches and synagogues, socializing across generations, and making sure that grandchildren interact with their grandparents, while rewarding bad social behavior, isolation and distancing. It’s almost designed to further fragment American social life.
Its impact also reveals the preexisting social distancing caused by the collapsing American family and the tribalism that fragmented multicultural communities living side by side, and yet infinitely far apart.
Instead of healing the nation, Warren, Harris, Booker, Cortez, and other Democrats divide it even more.
At a time when the country should be coming together, their only thought is of how to tear it apart for their political profit, racializing the virus and then blaming it on racism, instead of on Communist China, which lied about the pandemic, may have created it, and then cornered the market on protective gear.
But blaming China doesn’t serve Warren or AOC’s political interests. They would rather blame America.
This year, Americans will have a choice between President Trump, who is uniting Americans in the fight against the Chinese virus, and Democrats, who want to divide us along the lines of identity politics.
Our true test as a nation will come when we choose between racial division and national unity.

Coronavirus: Review to be launched into why ethnic minorities worst-hit by COVID-19
SKY News ^ | April 16, 2020 | by Inzamam Rashid
Posted on 4/16/2020, 8:31:55 AM by Oldeconomybuyer
A formal review is to be launched into why people from a black and minority ethnic background appear to be disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
The move follows calls for the government to investigate the number of deaths of people from the BAME community and those working for the NHS, during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sky News analysis found out of the 54 frontline health and social care workers in England and Wales that have died because of COVID-19, 70% of them were black or from an ethnic minority.
Our analysis also found that four of the five health trusts in England which have recorded the most deaths so far cover areas with some of the highest combined South Asian and black populations.
Many of these are in London and the West Midlands which together account for almost half of all deaths in England.
Despite only accounting for 13% of the population in England and Wales, 44% of all NHS doctors and 24% of nurses are from a BAME background.
Early research from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) found that last week 34% of critically ill coronavirus patients in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were from black or minority ethnic backgrounds.
According to the 2011 census, just 14% of the population is from those backgrounds.
The research was based on 3,300 patients from intensive care units.
