3-4% of each of these groups will die, so it will likely be a uniting 
experience, a dismal failure of the identity politics, and therefore a 
serious problem for powers that be.
Unrelated, it's funny how coronavirus has the same effect at biological 
and social levels: the damage to the body is mostly due to the 
overreaction of the immune system, and the damage to the economy is due 
to the overreaction of the society. Somehow the ruling class calculated 
that it is worthwhile to decimate the economy to delay deaths by few 
weeks or months (idiotic statements about the virus getting tired 
notwithstanding.)
