If this was not an escaped bioweapon and had just occured in nature....shouldn’t more types of people be infected?

Still early but lack of massive causasians is interesting

Massive lack of caucasians with SARS too.

And it’s very early on the infection curve yet for europe and the west.

it seemed to transmit really readily at the german auto maker.

Not necessarily. Any characteristics can evolve or be selected for. *In fact, an adaptation to, say, the alveoli receptor situation in the local human populace might be quite likely.

*This is despite the fact that viruses aren't really alive. Evolution in viruses is really only an analogue of evolution in living organisms.
