I'm not sure about the reliability of a site named Blazing Cat Fur, but I tend to trust things from cats.

Anyone speak Swedish? There is a link to a press conference. Maybe there is some way to get subtitles in English, but I'm not tech-minded enough to figure that out.

I have been wondering, though, about how various groups in Europe might be differentially-impacted by The Virus.

A virus is trying to eradicate a parasite?

I fail to see the problem with that.

If they did, I think they are doing a bad job given how many people in Africa take quinine in one form or other to deal with the parasitic infections.

I think more likely the virus spreads in immigrant populations due to density and crowded conditions.

It is my assumption, though I could easily be wrong, that the particular populations mentioned here and living in Sweden probably are not that overweight by and large, no pun intended. Those who are obese and have conditions stemming from that, like diabetes, are more impacted by the virus. So if the Somalis in Sweden are being hit harder, they must really be living ten to a room, or something like that.

Somalis are not the brightest bulb in the box. Combine low IQ with backward culture and backward religion and there is your answer.

Yes. I was going to say that not too many Somali’s are obese.

How many of those Somalis already had tuberculosis, making them more susceptible?

The Somalis are living in dense, crowded conditions and the result is a far higher infection rate as the ChiCom Virus is highly contagious.

Density is a death sentence.

Density is a death sentence......As well as filth, ignorance and non-productivity.

But didn’t Muslims immigrants supposedly believe Covid-19 couldn’t affect them?
