- inferiorhuman 4y agoIf I had to guess I'd say that the generally worse health outcomes for Latinos means that things just don't have that much room to get worse as they age. In terms of COVID vax rates among blacks and latinos is lower than it is amongst whites and asians so that's not helping. Look at how much higher the mortality rate is for younger Latinos… yikes.
- inferiorhuman 4y ago> What you said only applies to Latinos No. What I said applies to all cohorts. Take a look at the bar chart entitled "Percentage of deaths vs. population". That's not broken out by race or gender, only by age. Below 35 deaths are underrepresented. When you hit 35+ the inner bar (percentage of deaths) becomes a larger part of the outer bar (percentage of total population), by 50 it's nearly equal, and for 60+ deaths are overrepresented.
