I still see nothing about those that have red blood disorders that are thought to have evolved in nature due to malaria...such as sickle cell and thalessemia

I can’t figure out if those people are more at risk or less at risk.

They already have oxygen level problems in their blood cells. Seems to me that would make them more at risk

“Dr. Dunkle said the new emergency wing was about two weeks from completion when administrators decided to temporarily give it a new purpose.

“It’s a game changer for the community,” he said. “When you look at the fact that right now, just in the COVID-19 unit, we can house up to 28 people. Previously in isolation, it would have been four. We would have to do what the CDC says you can do, is put people in private rooms with the door closed. But obviously, that’s not an optimal situation.”

The COVID-19 unit’s air circulation is separate from the rest of the hospital. The first patients moved to the new wing Thursday evening. The unit had six patients as of Wednesday morning. Four have tested positive for coronavirus. The other two are high-suspicion cases awaiting lab test results.

So far, no hospital staff working in the COVID-19 unit have tested positive”
