We may be immune to the Wuhan Flu

From Gail:

COVID-19 is incredibly contagious. COVID-19 transmits extremely easily from person to person. Interpersonal contact doesn’t need to be very long; a taxi driver can get the virus from a passenger, for example.

The virus likely remains active on inanimate surfaces such as paper, plastic, or metal for many days. Human pathogens may remain infectious for up to eight days.

The only way to avoid spreading COVID-19 seems to be geographic isolation.

Perhaps 80% of people seem to get a fairly light form of the COVID-19 illness. Groups that seem particularly prone to adverse outcomes include the elderly, smokers, those who are obese, and those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or poor immune systems. Males seem to have worse outcomes than females.

People with East Asian ancestry (Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese) may have a higher risk of adverse outcomes than those of European or African ancestry. One of the things that is targeted by the disease is the ACE2 receptor. Hungarian Jews have few of them.

"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 Asia."

My conclusion is in the title. I am the most optimist person on Earth and the Illegally Occupied Territories.
