It IS affecting Asians the most. However, that is to be expected because of where the disease originated. Nothing in the published literature indicates any intrinsic genetic pre-dispositon to get this disease.
One of the first victims was a doctor from France.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I'm very concerned about this because my daughters almost died of RSV (respiratory synctial virus) when they were infants. They are 6 now, but one of them still have pretty bad asthma.
I'm also worried about my dad. He just got over pneumonia, he's elderly, and he has heart trouble.
I hope they develop a vaccine or treatment very quickly.
