Whilst the report does examine Deprivation, the words "vile Tory", "Racist" and "Austerity" don't appear anywhere in it.
What's the chances of this document being universally accepted?

It seems they are more likely to die from covid, than more likely to catch it. Both bame and women make up the majority of key workers. But bame are twice as likely to die and males are twice as likely to die. Which seems to is something biological, rather than some kind of racism. Lack of vitamin D seems the most likely so far.
as a slight digression, but related, there was a thing on R4 this morning about research work that has identified 2/3rds of Caucasian women have a remnant Neaderthal gene in their make-up, the benefit of this being to increase the chances of successful carrying and birthing of their children....the point being to here, it's just one (interesting) example of the differences that our genes do carry....
I haven't seen that, dt, although it is interesting. The biggest difference seems to be that because women have two Xs, there is a spare if one goes wrong, while men don't. Basically. So right from conception they have more chance of surviving the same things than a male does. If you look at conjoined twins... about 70/75% that survive are female... but, this is all probably a bit off-topic.
Have you got a link to this, woof? This suggests Asians are 1.8 times more likely to die, and black people twice as likely.

taken from the report
"An analysis of survival among confirmed COVID-19 cases and using more detailed ethnic groups, shows that after accounting for the effect of sex, age, deprivation and region, people of Bangladeshi ethnicity had around twice the risk of death than people of White British ethnicity. People of Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Other Asian, Caribbean and Other Black ethnicity had between 10 and 50% higher risk of death when compared to White British."

seems they are more likely to catch it as well
"A total of 10,841 COVID-19 cases were identified in nurses, midwives and nursing associates registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Among those who are registered, this represents 4% of Asian ethnic groups, 3.1% of Other ethnic groups, 1.7% of White ethnic groups and 1.5% of both Black and Mixed ethnic groups. This analysis did not look at the possible reasons behind these differences, which may be driven by factors like geography or nature of individuals’ roles."
