I'll have a read, but genetics seems like a very lazy explanation for it rather than, based on the studies I've shared, socioeconomic factors and environmental advantages.

Now that you can get their meat balls frozen, there’s literally no reason you’d get me going to IKEA.
Yep doing OK thanks -watering, and feeding my new landscaped garden -

Yes, you said usually, but using three examples where it’s been shown that genetics play a part show that usually is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the presumption that it’s down to socio-economic and cultural factors, especially when exploring the outcomes experienced by humans of differing racial profiles, as demonstrated in this 21 year old study which links to the ACE which COVID attaches to - https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/med/staff/cappuccio/publications/jhypert99whssaceid.pdf

It's partly cultural (champions in a sport beget an identity and that begets more champions) and partly genetic (fast twitch muscles).
In a particularly fascinating chapter, Mr. Epstein investigates an old theory that purports to explain why one small country, Jamaica, produces so many Olympic sprinters. The notion is that strong Africans were selected as slaves, that the strongest of them survived the voyage to Jamaica, and that the strongest survivors eventually escaped slavery and cloistered themselves in a remote region to form an isolated “warrior” gene stock that now produces world-class athletes.
It makes a convenient story. But it is belied by the DNA research of Yannis Pitsiladis, a biologist at the University of Glasgow, who finds no genetically distinct subgroup of Jamaican sprinters. It appears that Jamaica churns out sprinters because almost everyone on the island tries the sport.
Recent positive drug tests from two prominent sprinters may also help explain Jamaica’s dominance, and it’s disappointing that the book devotes little space to the interplay of doping and genetics.
Anyway.. Back to the BAME report circulated by SAGE:
'no excess HDU/ICU [high dependency/intensive care unit] deaths are seen in the BAME group.’

Noticed politicians are trying to make going to someone's house illegal now. Go outside in big groups as much as you want but go to someone's house and you are arrested and possible sent to prison. I can shop in the Asda with potentially what , 50 plus people at the same time but can't visit my mum for fear potentially of arrest.
You couldn't make it up could you.
Oh and the small point of how many of the politicians in power alone have done just that in the past but now they want it illegal for us normal folk, you know the ones who haven't seen loved ones in weeks.
This is introducing herd immunity back into agenda by simply allowing people to meet up. Why else would the government allow groups of 6 people, big shops opening , encouraged to go outside including isolating people. Technically it is safer to go to someone's house as they can sanitise the place before and after . Can't do that in the middle of a park.

It's odd in my opinion. There's one thing to not say anything about visiting someone's house but another to try and make it illegal. Why be so eager to get everyone outside ? Opening business and getting people back to work I can understand, it's an economic issue for them . It was always going to happen this month anyway.
But to go to such lengths to force people out the house? Well not force but encourage people to go outside in groups again? The only answer to that is hers immunity , which is a pretty big gamble if they don't already know the status of the pandemic.
