Many people write racist comments just because that's what they do in every video involving Latinos. So let's put them aside. By the same token. Many Latinos will attribute every problem to external causes just because they don't want to make it seem like we are at fault. The truth is somewhere between these two extremes. Yes, racism, lack of access to resources resources, poverty, over crowded houses and types of jobs all contribute to why we have such high levels of COVID in our communities. However, so does our behavior. We can't deny that our people is being less precautious than other groups. Dont get me wrong, I love that we are collectivist, family oriented and we love doing things in groups, but these things are also reasons why COVID spreads. I know my people and we are always throwing parties and having big gatherings. It happens every weekend in my neighborhood and other neighborhoods. The stores are packed, restaurants packed with people not social distancing. We go shopping in big groups. We take are whole family to the grocery store. All great stuff…when there is no pandemic! We need to take better cares of ourselves and take this more seriously. Let's complain about racism, but also talk to our friends and families about adjusting our behaviors.
It would be a different story if our communities looked empty, shopping was done by one person and weekends were without crowded parties during the pandemic, but we all know that's not the case.
As for me and my family, we cancelled a quinsanera and stopped with the large carne asides. It sucks. Can't wait to go back to being the fun loving, family oriented mega consumers that we are.
Simply because Latino community don’t take Covid19 seriously in America.
I tested positive for covid19 in December 2020 my doctor gave me antibiotics and 6 pills of IVERMECTIN 3 gm by early January 2021 I tested negative and feel better. I learned on the internet that IVERMECTIN kills parasites in animals and humans and also learned that covid19 is a microscopic parasite so why aren't more doctors prescribing IVERMECTIN 3 mg to save people?
AsIde from being essential workers and the other environmental factors, as soon as I saw this, I thought of MTHFR mutations (see link) which would explain heart attacks and strokes and more. As a group, Latinos have a high rate of MTHFR mutations – more than any other group. I am not Latino but I have a homozygous mutation and it's bad news. And if you are A or AB blood type (as I do and I suspect many of them), then it seems that would increase your chances. Apparently I'm not the only person thinking this. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7467063/
A Doctor's lie is only acceptable "if a doctor consoles a sick man by saying, "Thank God you are better, and there is hope of your recovery," though these words are contrary to the truth, yet they may become the consolation of the patient and the turning point of the illness. This is not blameworthy." ~ Abdu'l-Bahá, Baha'i Faith
Keep it up hispanic community and Continue playing with fire by not follow CDC guidelines. This pandemic will be a calling for population control. Stop partying, check your diet, and stop being a torta.
Why they call Mexicans Latinos, aren't they native Americans..they not Spaniards..
It's probably due to hispanic cultures being more close contact

They meaning doctors choose who lives and who dies they are killing people it’s fake news how can i person with COVID 19 goes into cardiac arrest like something’s is off
First of all, I'm not on the left I'm on the sane, sensible, and of sound mind side. Scientist told Mr Trump in January of the virus, but what did he do, he conceals the Covid 19. Then he tells Woodward a lie that he hid it from the American people because he didn't want the people to panic. But Trump told Wall Street so him and the Republicans could profit from inside trading at short selling. Then his scientist his own Task Force told Trump how to stop the spread of the infection by testing, mask wearing, social distinct, and shut down. We saw the virus lessening. But Trump wanted to do Wall Street another favor to keep the economy looking good for his re-election wouldn't wear a mask acting like the virus was a hoax, a cold, and it would just go away. Wearing a mask can't deter the virus is just another one of Trump lies, he got the virus by not having a mask. But before the people could recover from the first wave which he made worse by his disregard for human life by spreading his disease everywhere he goes. Trump actions causes a second wave with 8,000,000 infected 200,000 dead. But he still was happy until he had his super spreader. Trump brought on the third wave with his Super Spreader. Look everywhere he had his rallies the Covid virus broke out worse than before. 9,000,000 infected 240,000 dead. All of the people that believe Trump and don't wear a mask come together some A Systematic some sick, breathing out Covid other breathing in Covid no masks no testing. The people get so excited to receive their Covid 19. Then after the meeting they go out to restaurants, to get coffee, to their community, to homes and families, to their jobs and coworkers. Don't be dumb and blind sheep being lead to the slaughter by the false Messiah Jim Jones Trump, a messenger of death, Diablo Macho. Don't be like his blind followers wear a mask because Trump said the Covid 19 is gone, and the White House got rid of it. The only way to get rid of Covid 19 is to get rid of Donald Trump because when the vaccine comes out, you still have to wear the mask until the virus is over, and you know what Trump will do. Why should you vote because your vote could be the last nail in Donald Trump Coffin?

Did anyone see the MAGA Nuns at the Trump rally in Ohio? I love that these Nuns broke the internet by praying the rosary at the rally and held up the Bible as Trump spoke! Catholics won’t forget what Joe Biden did to “The Little Sisters of the Poor” regarding the $80 million in fines for refusing the ridiculous and insulting mandate of that horrible “Obamacare” to provide prophylactics to its employees in violation of the Sisters chastity vows and the Sisters’ beliefs concerning conception. The Democrat/Communist Party has made and is making laws that overreach their legal right to interfere with personal Liberties and religious Rights. In this case it was the Catholics, and in the case in New York with mayor Bill de Blasio it is the religious rights of Jewish People to assemble in their synagogue. The Democrat/Communist Party is Power hungry and frankly insane
Why anyone would vote for Biden is beyond me. Biden is the far inferior candidate, his horrible 47 year record shows this in spades. Biden's ideas and far Left policies are completely ridiculous, there is nothing in his ideas for American citizens. Open borders, free everything for foreigners, 60% income tax, etc. I don' think so.
MUST READ, MUST ACT, MY GOD: The only reason you may vote “wrong” and vote for Biden is that you think Biden and the corrupt far- Leftist Democrat Party will actually give you “free stuff”. Biden is absolutely a traitor and corrupt see Rudy Giuliani’s website. Copy and paste into url search bar: Rudygiulianics
Biden was bought off by the Chinese. Go figure.
@:30 they always could go back
#Vote for #TRUMP2020 and save this Country from the far left who want to DEFUND THE POLICE. #MAGA2020..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🇺🇸
I’m an RN who knows a handful of other RNs that travel all over the US, and hospitals everywhere (including in NYC) are more than half empty (even in ICU’s).
There is inconsistency with what they say (official narrative), and their story does not hang together with itself. We must utilize logical and scientific analysis with this situation. If their claims are reduced to absurdity, we have a moral duty to ignore and even oppose them. In logic, this is called “reductio ad absurdum,” which is to play their claims out consistently to show their absurdity. They claim this virus is airborne, and yet tell people to s0cially distance and wear basic surgeons masks, as if that would help against airborne particulates. Those masks only help protect against droplet (say it, don't spray it principle), and if wearing a mask, you should be able to give people hugs. You'd not need to worry about hugging, even without a mask, as long as the person doesn't sneeze or cough on your face, or speak like Daffy Duck. It’s also inconsistently funny how people are wearing permeable surgeons masks and not wearing sealed goggles around the moist membranous portal of entry for infection called eyes. They are called surgeons masks for a reason. They are for SURGEONS, because the surgeon has someone’s blood stream open right in front of them. The surgeon general even went on record saying that wearing masks will increase your chances of getting the virus. Now, If the virus were airborne (experts disagree that it even is airborne) with a hang time of a few minutes, a person could be a football field away, and you could still inhale this micro-particulate they left in that spot minutes ago. And when it eventually settled to a physical surface, surfaces would be contaminated. This means (if they were consistent), grocery stores would not be open (even sanitizing all food items every hour would not be good enough), every animal (squirrel, raccoon, bird, deer, BATS, etc) in the wild would need to be caught and tested. Also, once you test the animals in the wild or pets, you may have just transmitted it to the animal (because you can supposedly transmit unknowingly while not having any symptoms), and therefore, we just need to kill every animal in the wild, sanitize sidewalks and buildings, and lawns, and fields, etc (as once it settles outside, the wind could kick it back up in airborne mode). This is nothing more than irrational fear used to control people, at any time, as supposed new strains of this or that boogeyman can arise and even without symptoms in the host, and now you can supposedly be an international threat to humanity, for just existing, UNLESS you COMPLY…
So, if it is not airborne, and just droplet transmissible, then just have everyone who is immune deficient to wear a mask when closer than 6 feet to each other (for a few months only). Shutting down society is not only illogical, and unscientific, but immoral (way more suffering and death will happen due to shutting down, than even the contrived numbers they attribute to the oogie boogie v1ru5). As a Christian (if you claim to be one), you have a mandate to educate yourself to see the actual truth and to be brave enough to do something (not idolizing money). People are starving in South Africa and Lebanon, and many other places, in large part due to this “crisis.” The UN has projected that 130 million additional people will be on the brink of starvation worldwide by the end of the year because of the lockdown’s economic ramifications (and most will die)!!! Those numbers are freaking insane, and that there many more millions who will die for other reasons associated with the lockdown, and yet our “leaders” are doing this for our “benefit.” The hospital ER’s are filled with 5X the amount of psyche related suicidal attempts and anxiety attacks as previous (consistently), and people are turned into clinical level germaphobes, hypochondriacs, and people with OCD (hand washing anxiety, etc). It also seems as if the higher international string pullers want the main point of connection (face) with other human citizens (besides physical touch), to be covered with a mask and 6 feet of physical distance. This makes us more separated from each other. Divided we fall. They want us suspicious of each other, and in a state of generalized anxiety (which happens to reduce immune function-our only real defense against v1ruses).
This brings me to another issue I have, in how they supposedly knew there was an outbreak at all. With such a basic symptomology of cough, fever, and weakness, and in more severe cases, shortness of breath, there would have never been any way for them to know the origin or source of this supposed organism. There would be no way to know of “patient zero.” There would have to likely be 1/2 a million or more additional cases worldwide (above and beyond 2 million cases of the very similar annual recorded deaths from flu and tb) before there’d be enough of a red flag raised in order to dig deeper and find out what is going on. The umbrella of diagnosis is easily large enough to cover several hundred thousand extra deaths with flu, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc, without any suspicious warrant to bring in groups like WHO or CDC. That they supposedly “know” the source being a Market in Wuhan and bat soup, is tremendously suspect and doesn’t line up with the reality of the details of our normal operations of things. Either it is as the talking heads song says that it is “the same as it ever was,” and we do not have a new threat on our hands (but that they wanted to induce a false crisis and do Monte Carlo with death numbers due to other things), or it was intentionally manufactured and weaponized.
Add to this, that for all I’ve been taught in my nursing school microbiology classes, etc, separating us (social distancing) will only make this problem more drawn out and lengthy. Herd immunity is a principle which encourages us to mingle, so that people who have stronger immune systems produce autoimmunity through exposure and then become zero threat to those with compromised immune systems. So why in the hell aren’t we just recommending to have the very aged or those with immune dysfunction, to stay socially distanced or to wear a mask? Hmmm… With how fast this supposedly spread across the entire world (Superman v1ru5 like a speeding bullet), it’s not a matter of if you’ll get it but when, so we might as well mingle and get it over with.
Then, if you look into it, you’ll see that we have had pandemics of much greater magnitude, every year, for decades and decades past and currently. Tuberculosis kills 1.5 million every year and flu kills 0.5 million every year (worldwide). That’s 2 million deaths every year for just 2 disease processes that are almost identical (if not exactly identical) to what the presentation of symptoms looks like for CV. And yet, we have never even considered shutting down even 1 country, let alone the whole world for this, which kills 6x as many people as they claim as a death toll for CV. As a side note, 5 million die from cigarettes each year, and we have never considered shutting down the cigarette industry. In 4 months time, they have manufactured 330k death numbers attributed to CV. They could easily contrive the numbers and cloak actual death numbers with tuberculosis, flu, and pneumonia, etc. You see, There is an unscientific numbers game they play which reveals the outright lies told to inflate the death numbers. The death toll is tapering off or “flattening” at this time, according to reports. But, There are several problems with the figures we are given. #1 Why would you trust known liars (WHO, “news” media, etc). #2 Birx said those dying with c0vid, are counted as dying from it. #3 naso-pharyngeal testing methods have proven inaccurate #4 USC discovered through antibody testing that most people already have antibodies against CV and they never experienced any sickness, which shows that the death rate (even if we grant their bogus numbers) is far less than previously stated, to the tune of 0.06, or 1 out of 1,665. Added to this, their testing does not follow Koch’s postulates (look this up, as it is crucial information), etc, etc, which means this is all non scientific horse manure.
It’s so silly how they say we are on the “front lines” or in a “war zone” and are “heroes.” I’m thinking please stop with that. If anything, my job got significantly easier since the scam started. I have less patient admissions (a labor intensive task) and there is a lower patient to nurse ratio. Trust me, we are anything but heroes. In fact, I’m embarrassed to be a nurse these days. People are not trusting the medical institutions and paradigm near as much (and rightfully so) for going along with this insanity. There should be more than just a few hundred doctors and nurses speaking out. The censorship here on YT and other platforms is real, including the censorship at the job, which produces fear of losing money, but I’m sorry, dumb and/or knowledgeable sell outs are not heroes. Lastly, I want to point out that everyone believes in “conspiracies.” It’s just a question of which ones. Certainly some are more flaky or far fetched than others. But, all a “conspiracy” is, is people secretly doing or planning to do bad things. That’s it. If you don’t believe in conspiracies, then you are naive to reality and not keen to human nature. Please keep that in mind, and don’t attempt to use the term in a derogatory way, lest you show your ignorance of what the word even means. **Update: with CDC death number revision, it is now 1 in 30,000 death rate. Basically it is more dangerous to scratch your ass and die from that
1st it was African American know is Latinos most likely to die from covid.. whats next white people are more likely to die
Fear porn

ABC sucks sand
Covid is racist 🤪🤣🤣🤣
This is so heartbreaking , I lost my mom to cancer in February . 😞😞😞😞 I wish this goes away soon 😭
They live in overcrowded conditions. I used to work in an overcrowded year round schools. It's neighborhood homes meant to be single family dwellings provide shelter for multiple families. It's like that in the crowded urban areas.
Maybe we can build new housing units for them in less crowded spaces like Connecticut, the Hamptons, suburban New Jersey.
Lie after lie about who this supposed mystery virus affects.Did that little fella Fauci say this to???It has to be true if Fauci said it.What a joke,,,🤔🤔🤔
