OP had claimed without context in the title (it seemed to have been editted now) that Asians had high predisposition to Covid-19 while Africans had low predisposition. From his comments it seems that OP's children are European. If someone in the same situation as OP had gone off from the title, they would've concluded that their children were safe because they were not Asian. This ignores the fact that according to the submission itself the eQLT variant associated with high production of ACE2 still makes up the majority in all populations including Europeans, meaning that their children are not safe as the title had suggested. This is the opposite of erring on the side of caution. One person in the comments has already concluded based of of the title that Covid-19 will not affect them because they are not Asian. This is dangerous.
- jamesblonde 7y agoI understand your point. Your interpretation of my interpretation is not giving me the benefit of the doubt - i said higher susceptibility for certain population - not that you would be safe if you came from a certain population. That is, still, the gist of the paper. It is a hypothesis that different populations will have higher risk of acquisition (Chinese) than others.
