I have read that Filipinos make up a disproportionate number of COVID deaths among nurses in the US (something like 30%), although that could be due to geographic factors (higher concentration in cities like NY and LA) or higher-exposure roles (ICU, ER, etc).

you have to consider the source. Beatfish is here on behalf of the Chinse Communist Party. This thread is about pushing the agenda. it isn't intended to be about any fact

I suspect a big part of it is cultural behavior that goes beyond masks. I've done lot of business in Asia. Places like southern Europe are contact cultures. Asia is the opposite. Nobody kisses on the cheek. Nobody shakes hands. In my life experience, everyone has a 3 foot bubble. That kind of has to impact the transmission rate some despite the massively high population density.


I think the other aspect is that Asia has real public health and they expect compliance. If there's a mask order and a lockdown, they don't have Meal Team Six and the Gravy Seals ignoring it. If you're supposed to quarantine, you quarantine and people will turn you in if you violate it.

After all the attention paid to Moderna and Pfizer’s new Covid-19 vaccines, some health experts have expressed caution about the companies’ confident assertions that the vaccines are 95 percent effective for all populations.

I think it's more because when China engineered the virus, they did so in order to make it focus on the genetics of "round eyes", not people of Asian descent. Asians seem to have a strong natural immunity to the released version of the bug, given the low rate of infection in SEA. If Asians are genetically immune (to some degree) it only makes sense that a vaccine wouldn't generate the same anti-body response.

this is a good point!


Hey Betafish! Your overlords genetically created a virus to kill white people. How do you feel about that? Mad it didn't work better?

Aaah. So China engineered the virus? Don’t you have a Capitol Building to storm?
