Not for GLP Dummies :-) The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals
The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals

Abstract

A recent genetic association study1 identified a gene cluster on chromosome 3 as a risk locus for respiratory failure upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. A new study2 comprising 3,199 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and controls finds that this is the major genetic risk factor for severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization (COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative). Here, we show that the risk is conferred by a genomic segment of ~50 kb that is inherited from Neanderthals and is carried by ~50% of people in South Asia and ~16% of people in Europe today.

Re: Not for GLP Dummies :-) The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals
This gene fragment of 49.4 kb size was inherited from the Neanderthals and occurred in around 30 percent of the South Asian population and 8 percent of the European population. In Bangladesh, for example, 63 percent carry at least one copy of this risk factor gene. In East Asia, the gene is present in around 4 percent of individuals, the team wrote. It is absent in African populations, they added.

I guess the media is lying about it affecting blacks more then whites. Figures.

So then, if this is a man-made virus and was specifically made to eliminate those with Neanderthal DNA...

It affects Somali immigrants in Sweden for the same reason that autism is known as the Somali disease in Alberta, Canada. Dark skin plus a culture that promotes modesty in clothes, makes them Vitamin D deficient in northern latitudes.

Sub-Saharan Africa is unaffected by the virus, because they freely hand out chloroquine and artemisia for malaria, so they could not comply with WHO guidance.

That explains why the sub-saharan Africans have very low numbers of infected though with their bad habits and hygiene, they would be the first to have casualties in the millions even from the first wave.

According to their research, people from Bangladesh have the highest genetic risk factor in the world.

USA has a death rate of about 1 in 2,000 people. Surely Bangladesh should be considerably worse. NOPE! Bangladesh has a death rate of about 1 in 30,000.

Had it to specific regions of the us and the populace per zone.

Re: Not for GLP Dummies :-) The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals
That makes no fucking sense. Covid has mainly been killing blacks and Hispanics and even then only blacks and Hispanics that are basically morbidly obese and also have diabetes.

Africans have ZERO neanderthal DNA. So how does this make any sense? other than to freak out white people, who really aren't affected at all by covid unless they're in their 70s.
