UK - Breaking data by Race for COVID-19

In the UK, it was recently noted that scientists are pushing for more data by race/ethnicity, as in most European countries, data by race/ethnicity is a taboo. Because of this taboo, even through collection data, policy makers are struggling on how to rest respond to COVID-19's immense impact on Black and Asian people. 

A number of factors - not yet reported - have be arising and questioned, as to why certain communities are affected more than others: ranging from whether or not minority communities trust hospital staff or if hospital staff treat minorities fairly, how much access to healthcare do certain minority groups have, and more. In the UK, it was even noted by a survey (by ClearView), that 60% of Black people did not feel that their health was protected as equally as white people's were - under the National Health Service. 

In the US, ethnicity data helped scientists/authorities identify that African Americans/Blacks were some of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS, in the general population - allowing authorities to create targeted programs to help these (and other) ethnic communities. A color-blind model, is what a number of European countries are sticking too, though, leaving a number of gaps and absence of comprehensive data. My question is, would tracking ethnicity/race in data moving forward impact the future of research in European countries, and how has tracking ethnicity/race in the US helped reduce/aid COVID-19 infected patients?

Traditional herbal medicines are based on the use of natural remedies like Herbs and Roots, no special food no lifestyle change to permanently cure drug resistance diseases. Patients who use this methods will definitely testify. Though not all are natural and may contain heavy elements which the kidney finds difficult to filter and excrete that is why I recommend drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
Two years ago I was permanently cured of oral herpes by Dr Utu.
Dr Utu herbs are hundred percent natural, no after effect and is guaranteed many have testified to this
