Where are the majority of the deaths, along with the greatest number of infections? Hong Kong. How many of the deaths have been among non-Chinese? (I realize these are not politically correct questions, but they are pertinent).

Sorry at no time have I seen a report with a break down by ethnicity.

I've been thinking about this too as it would be possible to tailor a virus towards a certain genetic population. Or to choose a particular natural variant but as someone else pointed out this past week, a genetic shift occurring naturally ( and this is a new virus, not nipah/hendra from what I have read) at this point of war is really stretching. Time will tell. The good news is they have documented antibodies.

Hk 173 with 6 deaths,
Vietnam 62 with 2 deaths,
Singapore 34 with no deaths and
Canada 9 with 2 deaths
(the US might have more cases that Canada).
Worldwide 306 with 10 deaths.
