Actually it looks like about 3 times more whites have died than blacks. Stats are at the bottom of this page https://t.co/BzIofcKOjO

I'll believe (a) if it happens-but so far it's mainly press (eg @ThePlumLineGS) hype. (b) seems plausible, but @AdamSerwer doesn't deliver data to support it. Even in CA, where the disparate class/race Covid impact seems clear, more than twice as man whites as blacks have died.

You have a choice:
a) Ha, ha, stupid Trump is in trouble because the virus is killing his white voters in the red states! https://t.co/u7zCG7bfzp
b) Racist Trump doesn't care because the virus is killing "non-white Americans" — blacks and Latinos https://t.co/IewiVUoIRN

This was the parking lot of Rancho Park, a big, heavily used municipal park in West LA. It's now completely filled with RV trailers, as far as the eye can see. This is where they are putting the homeless. pic.twitter.com/G44peT3OQd

A number of alert commenters suggest this may be an example of "Simpson's Paradox," and not an error. Is it? https://t.co/rvRt4jjJC3

Very useful @Latimes chart on corona deaths by race (scroll down), except it shows Latinos dying at LOWER rates overall, but at higher rates in *every* age category. Must be an error somewhere. @palewire https://t.co/BzIofcKOjO https://t.co/oOHKY9l9ms

I wanted to call our pandemic shows "Experiment in Human Sacrifice," but @robertwrighter doesn't seem to like it. Second choice still "Pangolin Delight." https://t.co/sVdlU9GlsP

I mean, the governors are in charge. Some of their actions will pan out, some won't. In theory we'll learn from that. If there is a "rural/urban divide" that's because they have different experiences. They'll fight it out and reach accommodation. Do we want "unity" to paper over?

Not completely clear to me why we need "unity" at this point, though press always calls for it //"An existential threat–like war or natural disaster–usually brings people together …we've let this one drive us apart." https://t.co/XAhp6dtp63

This was a pretty shocking result — 95% of the positives were Latino. 0% were Caucasian, even though 37.8% of those tested were. https://t.co/oa5pp3cleu

"High covid" is defined as "100 or more cases per 100,000." The national AVERAGE is currently 440 cases per 100,000 if I read this chart right https://t.co/Bw73i5AJ7a

Note it's Johan Giesecke, Sweden's former chief epidemiologist, who broaches the migrant issue: "'[M]any of the people working in nursing homes are from other countries, they're refugees or asylum seekers.'"
