[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2275737, member: 223921"] This is a new study out today. " It looked at nearly 35,000 Covid-19 patients in 260 hospitals across England, Scotland and Wales up until the middle of May. "South Asians are definitely more likely to die from Covid-19 in hospital, but we don't see a strong effect in the black group," Prof Ewen Harrison, from the University of Edinburgh, told the BBC. People from South Asian backgrounds were 20% more likely to die than white people. Other minority ethnic groups did not have a higher death rate. The study, the largest of its type in the world, shows: 290 die out of every 1,000 white people needing hospital treatment for Covid-19 350 die out of every 1,000 South Asian people needing hospital treatment for Covid-19 The study also reveals profound differences in who is needing hospital care based on ethnicity. "The South Asian population in hospital looks completely different to the white population," Prof Harrison said. He added: "They're 12 years younger on average, that's a massive difference, and they tend not to have dementia, obesity or lung disease, but very high levels of diabetes." Around 40% of South Asian patients had either type 1 or type 2 diabetes compared with 25% of white groups."
