Re: Why is covid killing people of colour

Dark skin does absorb vitamin D from the sun, it just takes a lot more sunshine to generate as much absorption as that of white skin.

Indeed.
We've just been to Bradford only yesterday to visit my dad's grave. That too is in a bit of a state, but I have resolved to go back in better weather to clear up the weeds, etc.

Back on topic, though, yes Bradford is really a sad city now. There are still some well-built stone buildings, but there are also many 'cardboard boxes' stemming from the '60s which is when the rot began to set in. Not a pleasant place to live now, though Marge's mother still lives there, but at least not in the inner city.

Marge makes me take them too. I do what I'm told!

Re: Why is covid killing people of colour

Bottom line is, they tried to evaluate these figures to suit their own agenda.

Firstly, they tried to blame deprivation for the Covid deaths, then when they realised doctors who died were well off, they immediately blamed systemic racism - and when they were told that the latest research, based on fact, debunked their theories, they simply condemned the researcher's findings because it didn't fit into their warped thinking.

Racists stirring up a storm and backed by the BBC.

In my opinion it didn’t come over like that at all.

The latest is that not enough 'people of colour' are volunteering for covid vaccine testing. The reason? They can't get the time off work.

The race card is a very valuable weapon. I can understand why so many make use of it.

Of course, that is our own fault for providing them with the weapon!

Re: Why is covid killing people of colour

Lifestyle, choice, misinformation...? Incorrect statistics or insufficiently large sampling group...? There's nothing I can do about it anyway, so I honestly don't concern myself with the matter at all. Not my problem.
