The “people of color” angle as presented is retarded, but we SHOULD collect this data. Was watching a clip of a Chinese program talking about engineering viruses to target specific ethnicities. What if this is bio-engineered to wreck havoc particularly hard on a European ethniticity.

Agree. All data is valuable at this stage. I have read that type A blood group appeared to be more susceptible and type O seemed to be less susceptable. Will that hold up over time? Who knows, but it’s important to get reliable data to offset these threats.

ACE2 receptors actually express highest in Asians and lowest in Africans. That is the “Handle” which the virus uses to grab on to a cell and get in through the membrane. Northern Europeans are just above the Africans in expression of the receptor. How many cells can be infected is influenced by how many ACE2 receptors you have on cell membranes.

Looking at global infection rates and outcomes thus far the real world differences are small. This is just another attempt at driving wedges between groups because group animus lends itself well to group control.
