Corona VirusI judged the Corona virus very poorly . I was going by the small sample of the Diamond Princess where a lot of the passengers were old but had a very low mortality rate. But these were seniors who were fit enough to go on a cruise even if they did have pre-condtions. They were also above average income which favors overall health . These were not the people in care homes and hospital wards . At present I think the poorer people of the western world will be hit a little harder than the very low overall fatality rate of the Diamond Princess . Purportedly high blood pressure , diabetes and cardio vascular diseases are the worst existing condtions for Corvid 19 . These conditions are rampant in N. America and over represented in the poor. I know thats not a politically correct statement but thats how I observe it to be . If you go on the SHORPY website and view pictures of the past you see an America thats at least a third lighter than it is now . I include Canada in these thoughts of course , but theres a lot more American info available .
