Just a few months ago, I never expected to be writing about what is going to be the biggest medical catastrophe in American history. In his latest video, Dr. John Campbell explains how a racial difference in darker colored skin leads to differences in Vitamin D production and COVID-19 deaths.
Here are the latest numbers:
The South: 5/7

TOTAL: 76,928 dead
It goes without saying that exposure to the virus, age and overall health matter more than race in determining who dies from COVID-19.
Note: The conspiracy theorists would have us believe that THEY unleashed the virus to kill off non-Whites, Orthodox Jews and to close our borders.
Yes folks, get out and get some moderate sun on your body and vit D supplements.
Think about a couple of UV sunlamps for Autumn and winter.
Median age for deaths due to covid is ~80 years old.
Any media source – including this Peak Prosperity video guy – that doesn’t provide a daily update on the median age of deaths for that day is a charlatan.
If you can’t stress that this is an old person’s disease, then you are lying by omission.
Doesn’t change anything.

Sure it does. An extremely high median age means I (and my children) are VERY VERY unlikely to die of this disease even if we happen to catch it.
The fearmongers in the media with their daily death counters never emphasize this point enough. Those who are not elderly have very little to fear from this disease.
If you are under 30 years old, it is about the same as the flu, but that has been known since the beginning in China in January.
Commenter Gunther didn’t say it hasn’t been known.
Anyway …
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8290353/ALEX-BRUMMER-Madness-45s-work-economy-burns.html
“[T]he latest figures from the [UK] Office for National Statistics show that, up until April 24, only 332 people under the age of 45 have died from Covid-19 out of 27,356 deaths in total.”
Is that how the flu works? I have no idea. Of the ~24K flu fatalities in the U.S. this past season were just two or three hundred under age 45?
Even those who don’t die often require hospitalization. And after hospitals reach capacity, the risk to younger people increases too. And this isn’t the 90s when people retire at 60 anymore. Something like 25-30% of the work force is older than 50 and at a higher risk due to widespread American health problems.
@Gunther…
Yes, it strikes old folks hard, but, it also kicks the hell out of those with Diabetes Type II from being overweight, which, to my way of thinking is why New Orleans has had so many fatalities – lots of extremely curvy Negresses down yonder!
Looks like we’re on track for 100k by the end of the month. No way Trump can win with that black stain on his presidency. Even die hard Trump supporters have to admit he severely bungled the situation.
@Ricky…
You’re not right about this, Ricky, the reason being that The Democrat Party is in tatters and is unlikely to present a candidate formidable enough to weld together The Progressives with the rest of the party, which is exactly what it will take to be Trump, who will get the same 47% he got last time.
No matter what happens, and for better or worse,Trump cannot shake his 47%, and that means he could win.
For every Far-Right voter President Trump has lost, he has gained several Black & Hispanic voters.
“For every Far-Right voter President Trump has lost, he has gained several Black & Hispanic voters.”
LMAO
Don’t give up your day job.
There is no colored vote. Republicans have never won that demographic and never will. But it doesn’t stop The Stupid Party from trying.
People who earn little or nothing, have no reason to vote for no services, low taxes, and endless wars for Israel. Coloreds aren’t dumb enough to vote Republican. Only Whites are that dumb.
@ Ricky…
I am a 2016 Trump Supporter who will not be voting for him again. That said, I do not think that he ‘bungled it’
This country being what it is, at no time could he have taken a stance like Mongolia did.
I think he ‘bungled it’ in December and January, but, vastly improved in recent months.
As a Southern Confederate States’ Rights Type, I am greatly appreciative he did not try to tell the states what to do, something President Obama never could have managed in a thousand years, and probably not G.W. Bush, or Bill Clinton, either.
