Sickle cell anemia? Interesting. Now I’m wondering about diabetes. The VA doctors explained to me that when the blood sugar is too high, it can’t carry oxygen.
It seems like oxygen in the blood and how various diseases have that issue should be looked at more intensively.
People think of sickle cell anemia as a black thing but Iranians have it. They also have thalessemia...and some even have both.
Italians have thalessemia
Asians have thalessemia
The Virus hit hard in the thalessemia belt...
There is some reason that parasitic drugs seem to be helping a lot of people with a non parasitic disease.
If I was a scientist I would be looking at diseases that were thought to have evolved due to malaria to see if it could provide clues...especially if those with the disease either got Wuhan or didnt get it with some kind of significance.
