It would be interesting to know what part of the world these HLA folks’ predecessors came from...Northern European? Mediterranean? Where?

A great question. The women I noted in my response #8 below, not getting Covid in spite of living with those who did, were/are descendants of the upper UK and Western Europe.

They are fair skinned, blonde or ginger hair and basically very healthy women. None are overweight.

If it weren't European, they'd say.
