Men from black ethnic backgrounds are twice as likely to die with COVID-19 than white males, according to new figures.
For the first time the data took into account where people live, population density, deprivation and whether people come from crowded multi-generational households.
Men of Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Indian ethnic backgrounds also had a significantly higher risk of death involving coronavirus (1.5 and 1.6 times respectively) than white males, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found.
For females in Bangladeshi or Pakistani, Indian, Chinese and mixed ethnic groups, the risk of death was equivalent to white females.
Nick Stripe of the ONS said: "Analysis continues to show that people from a black ethnic background are at a greater risk of death involving COVID-19 than all other ethnic groups.
This comes days after a report by Public Health England (PHE) found the disproportionate impact of coronavirus the BAME community was due - in part - to racism and social and economic inequalities.

Huh...Rhonna be raciss...
Not the ‘rona. But quite possibly the NHS...
So what.
More Blacks live in cities.
I’m not certain, but they may have more comorbidities as well.
Don’t you just hate a racist virus?
So the Red Chinese developed this virus to kill black men?
Should we kill some white people to sort of even the score?
Shameful presentation of data.
That would appease the mentally ill Blacks and libs.
White male NRA members only.
“... Black men twice as likely to die with COVID-19 ...”
So? It means they don’t wash their hands, cover their mouths when coughing, don’t perform safe hygiene practices.
What out is new? Everyone already knew this.
That seems to be under consideration, to judge from the more woke rhetoric.
So there’s hope after all.
They are very keen on pointing out the differences between Caucasian and other populations, and of course they imply that it is the fault of Caucasians. But the bigger disparity between women and men is completely ignored.
Obesity is a major risk factor and blacks have elevated obesity rates.
But I have a feeling it’s also because they live in corrupt Democrat cities/states where getting away with labeling deaths as COVID falsely is a thing.
one way or another, they are gonna get reparations...thats where all this is heading..
Risk factors:
Over 75
Nursing home
Obesity
Diabetes
Lung disease
I’d bet that diabetes and obesity are at least *somewhat* more common in black men than in white men.For that matter I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re *much* more common.And smoking is also at least *somewhat* more common in black men than in white.
