Hard to draw any conclusions about innate ethnic biological susceptibility without adjusting for health, living conditions, cultural behavior patterns, etc.
But that’s why you DO the studies, to start teasing out the variables to discover the true nature of the disease. We need a huge multivariate analysis of variance table to get at that data. And I’ll concede that - except for known issues like sickle trait and sickle cell anemia - it may not be a race based susceptibility at all. But it does serve as a warning to those people who think that if we can institute the same restrictions as Singapore, Taiwan, BFE, or wherever, our stats will magically align with theirs..l
