CanadaOrBust:You really need help intellectually. Your sheer ignorance cant help you . Unfortunately, I wouldn't help you in this regard since you claim you know better. It's obvious you're far from being a scientist. Your posts have proved that to me. New but strange cases emerge everyday on corona virus and that does not mean status quo has to be maintained. It does not work like that in science. London is a city with a sizable number of minorities in the UK( where you have mainly pakistanis, asians and blacks doing all sort of low-grade or cadre jobs). The recent cases (as reported last Saturday May 24th on WSA and NOT your stale posts of May 7th which you copied on google) have shown a different trend in the spread of covi-19 with mainly white majority being affected with high fatality recorded outside London. The virus is spreading to the least expected locations where whites are mainly dominant.. In same vein, the medical journal also indicated that the majority of those affected in Brazil are whites ( there are also blacks in Brazil and a large number of people of Yoruba Descent whose forebears were enslaved from the west coast but have settled there, likewise other Africans) and the spread, if not checked, would place Brazil ahead of USA because of the spate of spread of the virus in the past week. Read WHO's recent release as well( but I doubt if you would dare look it up and read... as you only know how to copy and paste stale info from google with needless insults to support your ignorance) .I don't know why I had to come back to you on this...this is the last response I'd give you...Ignorance is far worse than covid-19. |

fairfora:My friend u have now proven beyond doubt that u r scientifically illiterate - u don’t even know the meaning of the word RATE! Go find out what that means. Also find out what the word PROPORTIONATEY means. Then go to sleep. U r disgracing yourself |

CanadaOrBust:I meant SPATE and NOT RATE...another proof of your ignorance and sheer illiteracy. Which school did you attend? Stop embarrassing yourself ogbeni. You sound so un-informed. |

fairfora:What is he talking about? My friend RATE means PROPORTION. Since u don’t seem to even understand basics, let me explain: if there are a million white people in a place and 100 black people, and Covid kills 250,000 whites but only 50 blacks, it means it is killing blacks at DOUBLE the RATE of whites. The rate at which COVID is killing blacks in UK was higher than that of whites in January, higher in early May, and higher TODAY. Now stop talking stupid and run along |

CanadaOrBust:what's the meaning of the word "SPATE" ? Can't you ask google for help again? : Olodo ![]() |

fairfora:This is one disadvantage of this type of forum - u may be unknowingly arguing with a totally out-to-lunch person. Here is what u wrote verbatim: “covid-19 is killing proportionately more blacks only in the USA” It has now been clearly established u were talking nonsense. Now stop embarrassing yourself further and run along |

CanadaOrBust:As you could not explain but kept dodging the meaning of the word 'SPATE' as used in my previous post which you mistook for the word RATE, then I give up on you. let me correct you again Mr man. Your usage of the phrase 'out-to-lunch' is very wrong in this context because you are still in control of your sense of reasoning, even though you reason based on the past info.(it's a medical phrase commonly used in Psychiatry on reasoning faculties) Out-of-touch is the most appropriate in this context and this fits you well, because you keeping harping on stale information which the latest one has overridden. You simply reason like an average African, who rarely updates himself. From tomorrow, go back to google as usual for updated info and do not forget to come back here with your copy and paste stuffs . BTW, had I assessed all your previous posts on NL, I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time on you up to this point because they're all the same. No further comments on this pls...case closed! |

fairfora:Of course u want no further comments because u r fully aware u r embarrassing yourself. This is your position: the death rate in UK went from 4:1 on 7th May to whites being higher on 25th May! U would have done better if u had said blacks were never higher. But u couldn’t say that because it is a fact - BBC, N Y Times, and WSJ can’t all be lying. Next time think b4 posting nonsense and making a fool of yourself! |

CanadaOrBust:Lastly, the below link ( from a well-respected source) should do justice to the whole matter...this was released by the UK's government Scientific Advisory Body and NOT just a data gathering company like ONS which had been faulted in the UK on several occasions. I do not believe in your copy and paste habit. I work with facts as a scientist. This link was also clearly indicated on the E-medical Journal of which I am a subscriber.... I pay to get the journal every week. Check the date on the TimesUK...Thursday 21st May, 2020 and not 7th of May, 2020 as you have ignorantly posited to back your stale claims. Cases emerge daily as earlier said and scientists do update themselves accordingly and that is why we are different from people like you....what you even claimed from the 7th of May's info was mainly a prediction, given the economically disadvantaged status of BAME and the early cases recorded vis a vis locations in the UK, in view of the scenarios and trends in the US as of that time, when compared to their white counterparts...predictions could change as new cases emerge. The scenario could change tomorrow as it's a norm in medicine but as of today, your information is far from being valid mr. man. After all, WHO made a similar...if not far worse prediction about Africa but you and I know it never worked out as predicted as of today. I would have dwelt more on this, especially those ''other illnesses'' as mentioned in the link, which have made whites become more susceptible in recent times to covid-19 than BAME, but as you are not a scientist and someone who is too ignorant to accept facts...it would be needless doing all that. These are the facts on ground and not your insult-infested, stale claims. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-19-being-black-does-not-put-you-at-greater-risk-researchers-say-vdf05prr6 |

fairfora:Bros u indeed have no shame. I don’t know who u r trying to fool - maybe people casually reading this. Your big scientific source is The Times! Not only that the article made it clear their result was only AFTER taking certain things into account. Not only that, either way it does NOT say that being black confers any advantage against corona - which was my whole point. Here is the exact quote from your Times article: “Black and other ethnic-minority Britons are no more likely to die of Covid-19 than white people after taking into account the effects of other illnesses and deprivation, documents submitted to the government’s scientific advisers show.” Read it. This time with understanding, then go to sleep |

CanadaOrBust:Lol. Rally? I never knew I had been busy wasting my time on a fool. This is bizarre You've been ignorantly busy shooting yourself in the legs ... . I also remember stressing "other illnesses )" which you quoted from my post above from Times, which I told you I WON'T explain because of your IGNORANCE( you aren't a scientist and never ready to learn). "Other things taken into consideration" which you also read as published by Times and as also discussed recently on by BBC.com are purely medical and would be difficult to explain to a layman like you....You have digressed in so many ways along the line but I simply overlooked them and now, you just ended it so abruptly. I had already ended this because I can't afford wasting my time on an ignorantly arrogant being like you. I only responded to your post because you said I was trying to run away, which was why I put up a valid link so you could read as against your May 7th expired claim. I've never missed my stand point on your UK claim from the onset, I remember mentioning other countries too, where blacks also exist to back my claim, but you stylishly ignored all that and rushed to google to pick only the UK. Mind you, before I respond to post or put up one, I have already been fully aware of its veracity. I don't know it all as well. I learn from others but you are the all-knowing here. I doubt if you checked the date before posting sef ...the scenario has changed and that's the fact so do yourself a favour by throwing your stale claims into a dung. See how you're contradicting yourself....read your very first post below and simply relate. SOMETHING is protecting Africa and we no longer know what. All the reasons people were giving have been proven wrong by places with exactly same conditions becoming hot zones - be it heat, humidity, sun, mosquitoes, malaria, diet - places with all that still have become hot zones! And u can’t say it’s because they are black - it is killing proportionately more blacks than whites everywhere. ....and i maintained this was incorrect as scenario has changed and you hurriedly went and posted May 7th's claim by ONS et al( a data gathering company and co., for that matter ) as published on several popular media which has been faulted medically in recent times, just to support yourself ignorantly. If I don't reply to your trash again, it's not that I'm running away. Its rather because you dont deserve my precious time. CIAO. |

fairfora:UNBELIEVABLE! How can someone be so obtuse and same time claim t be a “scientist”?! I’ll say the following for benefit of anyone else who happens to be reading this not for u as something is clearly wrong with how u think and there is no way of getting u to see that. 1) Something like rate of death from Covid CANNOT change much in a short period of May 7 to May21. Such demographic statistic takes time before showing any perceptible change. The only thing one can argue is that the original info is wrong - which in this case is not possible as the sources are impeccable. 2) Just same way Google is superior to Nairaland in doing a search so are top reputable publications superior to various niche publications. It is very rare indeed to have all top publications all be wrong about a subject because their very survival depends entirely on their reliability - which is why they must thoroughly investigate b4 publishing anything. 3) Doing a google search is the easiest way to find out what top publications are saying about a subject. Eg if a story appears on Gino’s blog, the easiest way to know for sure if it is true is to do a google search and see if it also appears in top publications. 4)My original point has been established: that Africans are NOT being spared because they are black as being black does NOT confer any special protection against Covid. 5) Don’t get drawn into an argument with some random guy on Nairaland as some of them think sideways which makes it a total waste of time - there is no way u can make them see that their entire thinking pattern is faulty. |
