Yeah. There is a report that asians, esp men have 5 times as many receptors in some lung cells that the virus targets.
” The result indicates that the ACE2 virus receptor expression is concentrated in a small population of type II alveolar cells (AT2). Surprisingly, we found that this population of ACE2-expressing AT2 also highly expressed many other genes that positively regulating viral reproduction and transmission. A comparison between eight individual samples demonstrated that the Asian male one has an extremely large number of ACE2-expressing cells in the lung.”

PRELIMINARY study. But interesting finding.
This is interesting. IF Asians are the only ones who get it, do you think the authorities should relay that? What a mess.
That is interesting, thanks for posting.
