Interesting to note that it appears to be deadliest to smokers - some 74% of Chinese men smoke, while less than 10% of Chinese women do.
Looks like a lot of folks should have chosen their parents better.
At least Michael Jackson will be safe ...
Gujarti Indians from Houston????
The yellow virus! A racist one at that.
Are there a lot of Gujarti Indians in Houston?
I would strongly suggest Dr. Tedros from WHO is the modern Bagdad Bob. Every time he opens his mouth you can visualize the shit falling out.
If you don’t know the answer off of the top of your head, then you don’t deserve to know.
In fact, I don’t think I can post to you anymore.
The answer is 56.253
Sheesh
:)
I would not put too much emphasis on this yet, but it in interesting.
For example, why is Utah considered lower risk than England?
This all seems a bit out there, to me.
So, the studies are at odds with each other, but understanding the totality of the infected people and those who experienced the same environment but have not gotten infected seems the more reliable way to know.
I would suspect there are since this assessed risk is not just based on race but where they are located. Don’t see anything about white males of European descent in Atlanta GA so I am safe. :)
It purports to be based upon genetics.
74% of Chinese men smoke, 10% Of Chinese women smoke, and 100% of city dwelling Chinese breath polluted air.
Was this a pandamic weapon developed to be used against the people of Taiwan?

from link:
In Taiwan they (Han Chinese) make about 95% of the population.
NYC, LA and Boston yes. Not sure about Houston.
Well, I did a DNA analysis via 23andMe and it is amazing how precise they can be with geography.
They knew nothing about me but just had some spit in a tube.
They correctly identified the geographic location of my grandfather’s village! They did the same for my mom - we thought it was wrong, but later found out that it was right and my mom’s information about her origins was wrong.
They can see markers and genes and identify where they come from and where they are prevalent.
My guess is that this work looked at where these receptors were most and/or least prevalent.
It seems Europeans and Africans are immune to a lot more pathogens - perhaps due to the fact that both were exposed to tons of plagues over the millenia...
Anyway, thought it was interesting so posted it... food for thought for us armchair medical researchers and epidemiologists... :)
It is interesting.
Thanks for posting.
Why does it give location as well then? Gujarti Indians aren’t indigenous to Houston Texas.
Utah....not much interbreeding among Mormons.
they are whiter than white.
Exactly my point. You’d think that Gujarti Indians in India would have the same risk as Gujarti Indians in Houston.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
Just about every male over 60 knows about this, as an ACE-inhibitor is used to treat hypertension. I’m taking lisinopril, and it works fine with few side effects now that I’ve been on it for a couple of years. I had rashes and flaking skin after I started, but that went away. Some people can’t tolerate it because it makes them cough.
There are ACE-receptor blockers, but they work on Type 1 receptors, and this virus seems to target Type 2 receptors. Otherwise, a receptor blocker would be a good way to keep the virus from attaching to the target cell.
