I heard this from someone quite high up in the NHS. And it's part of the government's enquiry into why BAME communities are suffering more than the indigenous population. It's to do with the BCG jab and it makes perfect sense to me.BlackDiamond wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 9:04 amIt's very awkward because the transmission is mostly spiking in the Asian community. And currently there is a tremendous monopoly on being seen to be supportive of all things BAME. Why don't the BBC just introduce a BAME channel and take it on the chin.palerider wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 7:12 am So 9 areas in the Norf have now been put back on lockdown because of a lack of social distancing.
While it would be doing them a favour not being allowed out in the shit-holes they are, there's a clear pattern in all of this, one that the woke brigade and the main stream media won't dare to say until it's patently obvious.
Bernard Manning used to occasionally begin his act with a statement that he'd received abuse about telling Irish jokes, so he asked if there were any in the room.
Normally there'd be a few, so he asked if there were any Azerbaijanis in the room.. When there was no show of hands he's say 'There were two Azerbaijani fellas walking down the road and one says to the other, Hey, Paddy'.
Well, there were two blokes from the Faroe Islands sitting on a bench in Bradford and one turns to the other and says 'Hey, Mohammed'.
One consideration that has been recognised, is the difficulty in sending out coherent messages into a community that don't understand the language those messages are constructed in.
And this is where central control - as advocated by government - is better devolved to local authority who might actually be motivated enough to tackle that particular elephant in that particular room.
And just on the BBC BAME channel...if they were are all at home watching BAME Nation then the transmission rate would almost certainly decline. Yes it's a sure fire solution and one that Guardian readers would mostly applaud; Ok Daily Blame readers would be appalled but it's a small price to get this virus under control in the wonky areas and tidy up the TV channels for everyone.
Everyone has likened coronavirus to flu. Maybe pneumonia. But there's evidence that links it more with TB.
The BCG jab was given to school children in the UK from 1953 until 2005. It prevented tuberculosis. It was replaced by something different only given to babies after that, but that's not the point in relation to coronavirus.
It will be interesting if the government dare release their findings about people from a BAME background who did have the jab and got infected, possibly died sadly. Then compared it to those who emigrated here from countries in Asia and Africa that never had the chance of the jab.
There will be well over a million. And that's just the ones we know about.
I'm told the initial results are startling.
