Cool! All those mannish-looking “women” beating the feminine-looking women aren’t going to get sick.

Now that's funny, folks. [/cableguy]
Does this mean that ACE2 inhibitor might be useful?
Do they block the ACE2 receptor?
Chinese women smoke?
(where?)
Are you sure?
US media will do their damnest to not report about a Yellow Virus.

Doubt it. Same group in the USA probably picked up the practices of using indoor toilets and washing their hands, at least to enough of a degree to affect the odds.
The one child policy produced to many butter balls. China is culling the herd
Best information I have seen about this.
I think co-morbidity, had it been put to the test, is a Venn overlap with Chinese malnutrition.
Location is simply based on the donor population that was tested "human populations where samples were available".
More like “kills people who are most likely to smoke and/or breathe in highly polluted air.” Smoking is more or less on the way out in most other parts of the world.
If you do not smoke and have never lived in a city with poor, smoggy air, you are more likely to survive this or other illnesses that cause respiratory problems. Me, I lived in smoggy LA as a kid and I’m *still* down some 30% or so of lung capacity - and I never smoked. Asian city smokers can be down as much as 60% or more of lung function.
Urban Indians didn’t have that problem, but it should be pointed out that smoking is frowned upon in public in most US cities’ social establishments and in society as a whole these days, unlike India. And, as opposed to Indian city air, Houston’s level of pollution is faaaaaaar less and therefore less damaging to lung function.
He certainly won't inhale any virus into his lungs.
My wife is worried. She doesn't smoke, never did. But her father smoked a lot every day, especially cigars, so she was exposed to a lot of second-hand smoke. She's Chinese-American, and has had multiple cancers so has weak immunity due to chemo and radiation treatments. We're watching this outbreak closely. We're here in the SF Bay Area so it's a major transportation node to Asia. We were in a church this weekend and a kid was coughing behind her, annoyed her greatly. Hopefully this virus will end soon and we can all breathe easier (literally).
I don't think even the PRC would be dumb enough to believe that it would not get back to the mainland from Taiwan.
It would be best to stay away from crowds if at all possible until this virus runs its course.
I have zero qualms, about leaving anyplace someone coughs.
I am out of there. To another seat, outside or just leaving.
For the duration of this, that is me.
This does not mean the Mormons will take over the world...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
My guess is that Utah is on list due to Lds missionaries around the world: They only spend 2 yrs in the field & around half of them are returning home in 2020...not just to Utah but predominately Utah.
Dunno. How many 7-11s can a city have?
