Early on there was a scientific paper floating around purporting to show susceptibility to the disease by race.based on receptor sites for the virus. I forget where blacks fell on the spectrum they were presenting.
Whether by genetics or lifestyle choices, blacks do seem to have elevated levels of some co-morbidities - obesity & diabetes in particular.
