“ACE II related Covid-19 Susceptibility Hypothesis. Genetics is science, right?”

Some researchers were discussing the possibility that Asian males have more of the ACE2 receptors that the Covid spike attaches to. I saw that either in Nature or some NIH paper. It was based on only one small study but it’s the sort of genetic difference that could make Covid more lethal to some populations.
