A Hint at Why McHenry County Latinos’ Coronavirus-Infection Rate So High

Wednesday, McHenry County Blog reported that at least 25% of Covid-19 infections locally were among Latinos/Hispanics.

McHenry County Covid-19 infections by ethnicity, 5-30-20.

That’s almost twice the percentage they represent in the total population.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Latinos/Hispanics comprise 13.4% of McHenry County’s population.

Today, reading ProPublica, a clue as to why arose:

“A ProPublica Illinois analysis found that crowded conditions within homes, rather than housing density, may better explain why some areas of Chicago see higher infection rates.” [Emphasis added.]

A Hint at Why McHenry County Latinos’ Coronavirus-Infection Rate So High — 16 Comments

  1. The most obvious answer is apparently not always so obvious.

    My Latino friends all have MUCH larger families than my non-Latino friends.

    Mainstream media brags about how wonderful it is that Caucasions are becoming extinct and that once they are gone, all of the world’s problems will go away; They’re having less than 2 children on average.

    But they can’t seem to put the pieces together unless it suits a narrative of oppression and inequity.

    It’s not that hard to understand.

    But since the average household of today isn’t large enough to hold 2-3 generations of people; it’s an issues of “crowded conditions” which makes it more of an issue where economic disparity can be peddled.

    After all, the surgeon general said “do it for your Abulea.

    Do it for your Big Momma”.

    Was met with outrage.

    He was just trying to be honest that some families might be more at risk than others where there are more people living together.

    Honest people are the best people and those who sugar coat facts are often deceitful and liars.

  2. The County Health Department will not win awards for transparency.

  3. I don’t believe for one second that Latinos are only 13.4% of the population of McHenry County.

  4. Hate to break to you saps but illegal aliens are 25% of the county’s actual population!

  5. That’s because wearing masks and social distancing is a rich, privileged white thing.

    Yes I’m America it is viewed as a part of Hispanic’s culture to have multiple families/generations live in one house but that’s not the only reason covid numbers are higher in minorities.

    Go to the stores or gas stations during the day and you’ll notice the working class Hispanics not wearing masks. They are too busy working to care about the coronavirus.

    They are too busy working to get tested.

    They are too busy working to go to the hospital unless gravely ill.

    You’ll also notice African Americans are not wearing masks as frequently as whites; look at the house party that was held in Chicago last weekend.

    Minorities are living their lives while the white folks claim the sky is falling from their ivory towers.

  6. The racial backlash is coming. It won’t be a pretty picture. Cannibalism is going to return, just like it is in Africa.

    Get your guns and ammo now! If you even can. It’s the only way.

  7. Sorry, but you are ALL idiots. There IS NO VIRUS! There is no planned demic. There are NO TESTS! All of this is a grand hoax to bring in the new one world order. You are all being scammed. BTW Truth? The Latinos don’t wear masks because they are smarter than you. If anything were real a mask would help zilch against a nanoparticle. You are making yourself sick, endangering your own immune system, AND raising your cortisol levels if you wear one of those stupid masks. Even the Latinos know that! All of the statistics that are being promoted are fake. If you had one ounce of common sense and a higher IQ than a pigeon you would see through all of these lies. When you follow these illegal “orders” you are giving your consent. They HAVE to get your consent to pull off every evil they are doing and what is coming. They have that when you comply!

  8. Truth, there is no evidence that masks are doing anything.

    White people aren’t necessarily wearing masks either, except for the scared, middle-aged, liberal women in the grocery stores.

    Most haven’t been though.

    You just see more around you who do because they are the majority of the people you see in places that you go.

    And Cindy is probably at least partially right that there are scams involved in this.

    There is a lot of money to be made for *some* industries.

    A lot of bailout money to be chased.

    I don’t agree that covid-19 is fake.

    Whether or not it’s the threat that mainstream media has portrayed has yet to be proven.

    Waiting for those stats which show every other cause of death that mysteriously disappeared while covid took off.

    Clearly there are people and businesses, governments, who are taking advantage of an economic crisis.
