Coronovirus III

[jamil]

"Hispanic" is just the identifier for the array.

The interesting part: the hispanic community in Indy is not terribly isolated or dense. There are Hispanic-heavy neighborhoods, but no Barrio...The hispanics live in all parts of town, more or less, so seeing the disease progress through that community seemingly without infecting the greater population is evidence that athropology - cultural factors - may have as much (or more) to do with the spread of the disease than simple proximity does.

That bit of information seems to run counter to the more common story that the disease is pervasive and persistant...if Denny's observation holds merit, we are most likely to be infected by those closest to us, not a random passerby.

My interest is, what motivated the interest? It's not always easy to tell in a written post. Is it straight up demographics or there were lines implied to read between.

Context. Body of work. Denny has nevery written anything on INGO that would make me think he harbors any type of racial bigotry.

When polite racict people say "I don't like Obama because of [reason]", [reason]="Not White". The ambiguity is a feature for those people, not a bug. You only every really know a person's personal definition for that variable through body of work.

Denny's no racist.

Well the C-Virus has finally stuck very close to the Jedi house.
My great-aunt, 91, passed away on monday. Shortness of breath. Nursing home is not sure if it was natural cause or c-virus. Testing results by tomorrow. Funeral is tomorrow as well so I suspect just natural causes.

My aunt, also in nursing home due to dementia, was taken to hospital yesterday. She does have c-virus. Fever, shortness of breath. She is not a vent but is in the critical section. She is 70.

They were in different nursing homes and we have not seen them since feb 2020 due to IL's ahelther in place order. Both are in the Chicagoland area. Just facetime once a week.

My condolences.

It does seem like once this virus gets into a nursing home, it does do terrible things.

It makes sense that an RNA-based disease might affect different ethnicities differently. We already are fairly certain that age plays a role.

I didn't say or imply that any potiential lines between are racist. I don't think Denny is any more racist than anyone else.

Hispanic here. Just took a walk around the house and I seem to be missing 27 people.
It's getting dark, you'd think they'd be done landscaping by now.

Let me know if you see them as you are out and about rolling coal with your cousin to get her in the mood.

LOL

Well I was meaning the illegal ones and what I said is true.

And fyi cow tipping was the rage when I was a youngster

Lol everyone's always looking for that angle.
So old.

Seriously it goes back to how many of that demographic live in close proximity to each other. Same with the Burmese. 20 to 30 live in one damn house. It's a fact not racist. This is the same reason these
Meat processing plants are being shut down. They hire mostly foreign workers. Green cards whatever their status. Burmese and Mexicans. It's a fact. They all live 20 to a house or apartment, then they pile into huge Van's together and come to work. If 1 gets sick they all get sick. This is fact people, I know someone pretty high up in one of these companies and I get the scoop. Not reading it in some article or by hearsay. Its fact. Everyone's always looking for racism. Sometimes things are just cultural.
I can go on a rant about white trash next to equal it all out if you social justice warriors want me to.
Label me whatever you want. Here's the thing, I don't give a flying ****.

yes. I think there are biological and cultural factors that might make it more prevalent for some than others.

Not sure why that made me think of this, but I'm reminded of a distastefully colored website apparently written by the tinfoil brigade spreading all kinds of manure of all fragrances. Okay so it goes something like this: the virus doing specific things is apparently sufficient evidence to believe that it was designed by evil people to do those things. If it makes certain people more ill than others, the obvious conclusion is that it was designed to target those people specifically and not others.

So, as the story goes, Bill Gates paid China to develop a virus to get rid of old people, diabetics, people with hypertension, copd, poor people, and...yes...also people of color. This is part of his evil plan of eugenics to ease overpopulation and trim out the people not worthy of his grand socialist utopia, all while getting richer by selling the vaccines he financed well before the outbreak.

Yep. That's out there. I can't unread that ****. Free speech is worth the price. But I'm just acknowledging that it's a high price.

Well, again. I'm not implying that there was anything untoward. I'm curious why it was important enough to mention.

 

[foszoe]

Aren't there illnesses that affect races in different ways like sickle cell anemia?

That sounds more promising than the prospect of a vaccine coming anytime soon.

But of what significance is Hispanics. Why is that interesting?

 

[singlesix]

Well our neighbor just extended for another month.

Hopefully we'll get better news today.

If she observed that most of her patients fit a certain demographic, particularly one that has not been mentioned specifically a great deal, it was worth noting.

 

[Alpo]

I don't think Denny is any more racist than anyone else.

Way to waffle.

That's about as lukewarm as you could possibly make it.

An INGO Golden Rule....

Don't ask questions or the assumption will be that the you were making an assumption!

Well imo any statistical fact like that is important.
Just like the higher death rate among older folks. More so with preexisting conditions, but as you age more stuff starts to go wrong so it makes sense that this disease targets older folks more.
Also I saw that black folks are more of a higher risk, why? Genetics?
We are all humans and equal, I believe this to my core. But just like with men and women there ARE important differences between the races. Cultural yes but in this I'm also meaning genetically. That's not a dig on any race. It's something we can accept and work to better treat each group medically.

 

[foszoe]

Aww comon now, Alpo! You know more than most about the dog pile because...well...just look at you!

Way to waffle.

I see you are doing the John Cena routine!

I dont even know what that means. I dont watch wrestling.
I've always been pretty clear on sharing exactly what I believe and mean. I have no hidden agendas.
I do not believe in being politically correct or beating around the bush though in saying stuff worried about hurting peoples overly sensitive feelings. Seems like our society is full of big crybabies on everything anymore. You're more of a man If you act like a girl. Doesnt anyone else see the problem with that thinking? Or can I get you a midol and a glass of water?
