Who could imagine that our DNA could determine a large portion of our health? Who could imagine that people with similar ancestral backgrounds could have similar DNA? Next thing, they will try to tell us that diseases can run in families. Shocking, I tell you, shocking!
Race isn't the biggest factor, in the "disportionate" impact of Covid, nor is income, despite what the media and "experts" would like to tell people. While socio economic factors could play a part, we would expect to see far more homeless afflicted with Covid and dying. We do not. I can say that without equivocation. We treat a large homeless population, and the incidence of Covid among them is low. Not just lower, but low. Anyone with any knowledge of how disease spreads would have expected that. The homeless are seldom in close proximity to groups of others for extended periods of time.
People with lots of family members living in the same household, and that have large gatherings of friends have greater risks. People aren't typically wearing masks inside their homes and they are usually in closer proximity than they are when among strangers in public.
Take a scenario that I see playing out fairly often:
Patient One is brought in by a family member to be seen for possible Covid symptoms.
Patient Two is brought in by seven of their closest family members to be seen for possible Covid symptoms.
Which patient is more likely to have Covid, and why?
Covid discriminates. Sickle Cell disease discriminates. Kidney dysfunction discriminates so much that we use different labs for GFR.
