(If the virus is white people, then yeah, but covid is an equal opportunity offender and we don't actually know which genetic markers it's responding to for whether an infection is more or less severe)

Also apparently American health-care providers give supplemental oxygen to fewer PoC in the ICU because pulse-oximetry is substantially less accurate for them, there's a new paper making the rounds today about it.

exactly what i was thinking of. if covid was some sort of furin cleavage test run that got loose it would be 100% on brand for the American government to say “well gently caress it it’s gonna kill way more Chinese people than white people”

There are a lot more old white people than old black people because of the many factors that lower the life expectancy of black people. So the covid death rate among black people in the US is only slightly higher than the death rate among white people, but if you look specifically at seniors, black and Hispanic people are dying of covid twice as often. It was even worse before the vaccines were available. We don't have accurate death data from many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, but it seems that the lower life expectancy and smaller number of seniors has contributed to a lower death rate than the US.

The breakdown of covid deaths by age in the US is roughly 25% under 65, 25% from age 65-74, 25% from 75-84, and 25% at age 85+.

This has literally always been the dream but it's impossible because all the "races" are genetically too similar, being the same species, for it to kill one race but not another

This is pretty much due to how society is striated in the US where the M.O. is that non-white people should eat poo poo and die. The society is the genocide machine, not the virus. And even concerned white people are so disconnected from the reality in the country that it's more believable that the virus is super-targeting ethnic minorities than the fact they themselves are just enjoying the unique level of privilege of not being marked for death.

Sickle Cell anemia is an example of something that could be targeted easily nowadays. Same thing goes with modifying a disease to work synergistically with those who are HIV positive.
