ACE2 expression level is an important factor for susceptability to corona virus acquisition, based on what I have read. And based on your quotation, Asians donors had much higher ACE2 expression levels than African-americans. Hence, the title. The title is meant to be interpretative for people who don't have time to dig down into the science - there are population level genetic differences that may play out in the next few months.
