From nothingnewunderthesun.com:
– HAPPENED TO HEAR THIS ON CNN OF ALL PLACES. SO ROUGHLY SPEAKING LOOKING AT THE FIGURES BELOW FROM THE CDC:
648.5 TOTAL HOSPITALIZATIONS PER 100,000 = .648%
608.4 NON-WHITE HOSPITALIZATIONS PER 100,000 = .608%
40.1 WHITE HOSPITALIZATIONS PER 100,000 = .0401%
WE ARE SHUTTING DOWN THE COUNTRY FOR THIS, FOR THESE PERCENTAGES?
WHAT I GATHER FROM THIS, IS THAT EXTRA PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN IN BIGGER CITIES WHERE THE VAST PROPORTION OF MINORITIES LIVE. RURAL AMERICA, FORGET IT. MORE PEOPLE PROBABLY GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR BROKEN BONES THAN THESE NUMBERS INDICATE. WHY ISN’T THE MEDIA ALL OVER THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Actually CNN wasn’t pointing out the small percentages. Their main point was that African Americans get the virus 5x as much as White Americans. Actually American Indians appear to the highest rate. Although, that was never mentioned. Doesn’t play into the race game.
Thanks Robert for linking!!! Thought these figures were pretty significant. if you look at the hospitalization figures from the CDC, it’s hard to believe any hospital was overwhelmed. The Watchman
