That’s interesting. I just googled and found this:

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/85929

“In the United States, reports have shown that African Americans may be dying at a higher rate from COVID-19 than the rest of the population, and 10% of African-American males are affected by G6PD deficiency.”

Also more common among Mediterraneans which may partially explain why Spain and Italy had such a tough time with COVID-19.
