I am not saying this is true! Just posting that some people believe this. Be sensible.

It’s killing Asians.
Oh I see. So COVID-19 is racist. ;)
We dont get infected through the skin.
I’m white but, I tan well. My melanin appears to be in stealth mode until activated by sunlight. Does this mean I’m safe?
Different genetic groups may have different levels of susceptibility to infection. There are more genetic differences between blacks and other races than just melanin levels.
This is a dangerous line of speculation for black people in America, who average 25% white ancestry. Even if there is some genetic resistance, and it’s certainly possible, they’re not pure African from Cameroon now are they?
Wuhan Coronavirus is all over Africa now and its going to look worse then Italy once it firmly establishes itself.
I believe Cameroon has the lowest average IQ of any country at about 60.
Virus is racist!
Melanin is an antioxidant. It fights the aging process and can help ward off some diseases as well. White people, lacking the melanin, are born with higher levels of the antioxidant superoxide dismutase (sod) to perform a similar function. Levels vary with genetics, but white people generally have a lot higher sod levels than black people. The problem is that melanin levels generally remain constant, while SOD levels drop with age. This is why black people tend to show fewer physical signs of aging than white people.
This makes me wonder what effect exogenous SOD might have on the coronavirus. I might have to up my supplementation. I already suspected this, but based on research I had read, went with higher glutathione supplementation instead. I guess there’s no reason not to do both.
This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read on this site.
Reminds me of a si-fi story I read about fifty five years ago.
An American scientist accidentally discovers a catalyst that causes yellow rats and mice to die. Anything with a yellow tinge in it’s skin dies.
When he shows this to a scientific delegation he warns the Chinese scientists to stay back.
After they return home, the Chinese scientists order variations of the catalyst and 1000 white mice, “NO! Make that 10,000 white mice and rats”.
Having sex with a virgin caused the AIDs virus to leave the dude and go into the girl, healing the dude.
Everyone knows this.
So, being black as defense against this virus checks out.
That’s racist!
Omg! Darken society now, white wimmens!
I wonder what the cure rate is for country Chinese vs. city Chinese.
That is down right racist
Didn’t know blacks had melanin in their respiratory mucosa.
It sure looks pink to me when I examine them.
So - they’re saying actual skin color matters...
