COVID does not discriminate. But its impacts are definitively disparate and tragic: Latinos ages 18-54 are dying at 8x the rate of White people of the same demographic. Read the Ayalas’ story of just how big one loss can be.

Latinos are more likely to work eseential jobs and have less protection at our workplaces due to discriminatory systems. This is why workplace, healthcare and political equity matters. publichealth.uic.edu/news-stories/b

There is also the question of the quality of care. Many are ignored or given a dismissive assessment about their symptoms/concerns. Many don't have the quick access or resources to care as their White demographic. Also, language barriers can arise.

Just curious about their health conditions prior to getting the virus? Underlying medical health issues? And were they vaccinated?

there's really no excuse to not have been vaccinated at this point. It's available on damn near every street corner with no associated costs...

That is why #EduinCazares should give back to their community and inform fans about the importance of getting vaccinated.

I would love for someone to explain this to me. “Latinos” come in all races and ethnicities including white. So how do you divide these numbers to come up with these statistics?! Are you just lumping everyone you think is “Latino” together?! It doesn’t make any sense.

That's cuz all the barges underbellies from "CCP" China have been smeared with COVID biofilm tars which spread through the ocean as it moves. The sea spray spreads the virus inland, where migrant farmers and construction workers get exposed very quickly.
