OK OK so BAME people are more susceptible, how is that racist? Men are more susceptible to gout but that's ain't sexist is it? Is it just possible that BAME people are somehow more open to catching the virus? Does everything that is different for BAME people have to be racism?

AH: "Do you have a link to back up that assertion?" - well it's touched on here in the Guardian https:/
Essentially they are more likely to live in situations where they are closer to more people for longer in certain, communities, notably Asian. There is evidence they they ignore the rules more readily, again the Guardian: https:/

If you have read your link, you will see that the essence of it is 'suggestions' rather than a statement of fact.
I can 'suggest' all sorts of things, but I try to refrain from shoehorning them into an argument that I lost with my opening statement.
I am also inclined to accept when I have got something wrong, and admit it, rather than flogging on with less dignity and credibility each time I post.

^^ OK, flippant - but I'm afraid it was my instant reaction. Some races are more prone to different diseases - sickle-cell anaemia is an obvious example. It's pointless to deny it. Vitamin D seems to be important and black skin does not absorb it as readily as white skin; brown-skinned ladies often cover as much of their bodies as possible. There are probably many reasons for the imbalance, but of one thing I am certain - the virus is not in itself racist!
