I just read an interesting article. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that senior citizens be moved toward the back of the line because racial and ethnic minorities are under-represented in this group. In other words, seniors are too white.
I wonder if this is why places like Orlando are getting the virus first.

I've heard that on two different cable channels now (surprised) in addition to FOX of course, and read two print articles stating the same. One article wisely brought out that the taboos surrounding the virus (ties to weight, ethnic characteristics, etc., while politically correct, are actually adding to the sickness and death rates by arbitrarily deciding which "per-existing" can be discussed publicly and which can not (for fear of outrage and economic backlash, or "cancelling") One puzzling example they gave was some conditions like heart disease and diabetes can be discussed/advertised, while other proven risk ties such as over weight and ethnic composition, and others are not to be mentioned (but are certainly available to those few who care to spend the time finding medical journal research and stats not on the evening news) due to their "sensitive" nature. It's an interesting observation of our culture, that we are selective about which and how much information we disburse to the masses, and the ethical (?) base we use to make decisions along those lines. Just an interesting observation on our culture.
