Chinese Scientists Find Genetic Explanation For Coronavirus Discriminating By Race
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/chinese-scientists-find-genetic-explanation-coronavirus-discriminating-race
Chinese study not peer-reviewed yet...claims:
The authors explain that “2019-nCov was reported to share the same receptor, Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)” as the SARS disease, an outbreak of which in 2003 seemed almost exclusively to kill Northeast Asians.
Based on “the public database and the state-of-the-art single-cell RNA-Seq technique” the Chinese scientists “analyzed the ACE2 RNA expression profile in the normal human lungs.” Crucially, they further found (in a comparison of eight individual samples) that the “Asian male one has an extremely large number of ACE2-expressing cells in the lung” in comparison to other races. (The database was based on analysis of eight normal human lung transplant donors of different races.)
As they put it:
We also noticed that the only Asian donor (male) has a much higher ACE2-expressing cell ratio than white and African American donors (2.50% vs. 0.47% of all cells). This might explain the observation that the new Coronavirus pandemic and previous SARS-Cov pandemic are concentrated in the Asian area.

My guess is that they were just shitty scientists and accidentally released it from that lab that was studying it.
Kill off the old people AND divert from the Hong Kong revolucion!
Trump will get the blame for this as well by the looney left. Those tariffs by bad orange man has pushed the Chinese to do something radical and intentional to their own population and the “govt/economic issues that were bubbling up.”
But Trump, again. Countdown 3...2....
I've heard theories that it was the CIA to topple the house of cards that is the Chinese economy.
Who fucking knows what the truth is. At this point all bets are off.
