500 men and a huge army of natives who wanted to get rid of the Aztecs. Even today most parts of Mexico hate Mexico City. Kind of like Koreans hating Japanese. Those cultural resentments run deep. Just like some parts of the USA are better than others, some parts of Mexico are better. Living there gave me a very different perspective. Cortez also encouraged intermarriage on a way other conquistadors did not. For this reason very few Mexicans are pure anything. Some of my extended Mexican family have the same coloring I do, fair with green eyes. The history is very complex. Mexico even belonged to France for a bit with wonderful culinary consequences. If you look at where covid is hitting hard in Mexico, those are the bad parts LOL.
My state finally released the data on Kung Flu infections by zip code. ALL the worst areas are areas with high hispanic populations, and they're not just a little worse than everywhere else, they're WAY worse. This seems to be true nationwide (SoCal, AZ, NM, TX, FL).
Shanghai is the main embarkation/debarkation point for air travel to and from China from the US. Shanghai is less than 2 hours by air from Wuhan. The only direct flights from Wuahn to the US are to NY and SFO. Wuhan is a city of 8 million. Every metro area with really bad China flu has direct flights to/from Shanghai. Seattle, Denver, LA, ATL, Chicago, etc. My guess is that you had infected Chinese travel to Park City from Wuhan via Denver. The weird thing is, SFO has relatively low China flu rates. Not sure what's up there.
Yes, they observe zero social distancing, live close together, and have huge families. My extended Hispanic family have distanced hard core and had zero cases. My Salvadoran friend is not doing anything different at all. Also many work in "essential services" and can't stay home. In the cases of some of the less educated I think sanitation could be an issue. We would have to compare to unsanitary white communities to get rid of confounding factors. In my state 42% of cases are Hispanic and 17% of the population is, but their death rate is half of everyone else. I think more young and healthy ones are getting it too. Maybe they are doing a Sweden
And Cortez took it with 500 men.

Any ideas why?
One more thing, our highest end area is also a hotbed of infection likely due to travel, Park City is quite bad. My county, Weber is fine.

White trash zip codes/counties in my state are low infection areas.
