There's data in. It's neither racist nor xenophobic to analyse risk factors as they come in. ONS reports that so far BAME are 4x more likely to die so far and even after controlling for known risk factors (geography, demographics, employment, comorbidities, obesity etc) that only comes down to 2xOriginally Posted by GGT
I'm concerned you're making that kind of genetic/racial correlation before all the facts are in. At this early point in understanding a *novel* virus, that "seems" like racist and/or xenophobic confirmation bias against immigrant (black) doctors and nurses (by your NHS) more than anything else.
It seems like genetics may double risk then environment may double it again. Or vice versa. Under those circumstances precautions make sense.
Strange that you view the NHS trying to protect its vulnerable doctors is xenophobic in your eyes.
