Very important to remember that Dr John Campbell isn't a medical doctor. He's a nurse with a PhD in learning.
I'm still waiting for the statistics where skin colour is correlated to income levels. Then I suspect we'll see the real issue. Poorer people living more densely.
- DanBC 6y agoBen Goldacre (and others) have done a rapid assessment of covid-19 risk. https://opensafely.org/outputs/2020/05/covid-risk-factors/ https://opensafely.org/outputs/2020/05/covid-risk-factors/ > Results: There were 5683 deaths attributed to COVID-19. In summary after full adjustment, death from COVID-19 was strongly associated with: being male (hazard ratio 1.99, 95%CI 1.88-2.10); older age and deprivation (both with a strong gradient); uncontrolled diabetes (HR 2.36 95% CI 2.18-2.56); severe asthma (HR 1.25 CI 1.08-1.44); and various other prior medical conditions. Compared to people with ethnicity recorded as white, black people were at higher risk of death, with only partial attenuation in hazard ratios from the fully adjusted model (age-sex adjusted HR 2.17 95% CI 1.84-2.57; fully adjusted HR 1.71 95% CI 1.44-2.02); with similar findings for Asian people (age-sex adjusted HR 1.95 95% CI 1.73-2.18; fully adjusted HR 1.62 95% CI 1.43-1.82).
