Every week the alarming truth about the Covid-19 coronavirus is becoming clearer. Some of us are much more likely to die from it than others, and the key reasons are just beginning to be unravelled by scientists.
For most fit and healthy people, the risk is small to non-existent; but for others, the possibility of dying once infected is frightening. While there have been just two deaths among children aged under 15 in the UK, there have been more than 30,000 in those aged over 60.
We now know that being overweight, with its associated problems of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, substantially increases the danger of not surviving the infection thought to be as a result of a weakened immune system.
If you combine this with the additional risk of age-related decline in the immune system, the danger is even greater. But now it seems there is another sinister element to the story which might explain why deaths in men outnumber those in women by two to one, why overweight people are badly affected, why some minority ethnic groups may be at higher risk of complications and possibly why smokers seem to be protected from catching the infection (and why they fare badly if they do get it).
Evidence is emerging of the role of a cell receptor called ACE2, which Covid-19 attaches to in order to infect our healthy cells. Its thought that the more of these receptors you have, the more entry points there are for the virus.

Funny that you posted this; I started researching this very thing late last night. I’m not done yet. But...
Children have FEWER ACE2 receptors than adults (7th paragraph) https://www.lsuhsc.edu/newsroom/ACE%20Inhibitors%20and%20Angiotensin%20Receptor%20Blockers%20May%20Increase%20the%20Risk%20of%20Severe%20COVID-19.html
And it also appears that it’s not the fact that ppl are obese, diabetic, have hypertension, or a racial minority alone, alone that makes them susceptible to Covid-19, sure sounds like the common medicines that are prescribed for them are ACE2 culprits: https://www.drugs.com/drug-class/angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitors.html
Finally, if you end up getting it, the inflammation resulting from your immune system fighting it seems like the thing that kills ppl. Q’s 4 & 5: https://www.cleveland.com/news/2020/03/ace2-how-researchers-think-coronavirus-attacks-cells-and-how-it-could-be-stopped.html This inflammation is called a “cytokine storm” and there are many videos on YT about it. Ventilators make inflammation worse, which is why you’re a goner if they put you on one.
The vitamins associated with preventing much of this are 2,000 day Vit C, 4-5000 IU Vit D, and 30 mg zinc (prevents cell replication)
There’s a good twitter feed aggregating covid-19 reports:

But I’m still looking for more info.
medcram has a new video about lung autopsy...pretty much shows Medcram has been right on the ball
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlUFibXtDxQ
brings up NAC
I cant remember all the technical aspects so maybe someone can provide them and the article that discussed it.....but basically.....
it is designed to bypass/block one thing your body does to fight disease and lets the cytokine storm part of it run wild
and yes...
it is DESIGNED
not a bat fluke
Starting the first week of January when info from China was scant, I have read many hundreds of SARS-2 and CORONAVIRUS articles. This is by far the best article ever.
medcram politely bashing Youtube in the vitamin d video...
they are deleting videos if they dont follow WHO guidelines...
he is politely outraged.
Thanks for posting that link. Very interesting information.
0.3% death rate of the infected. Yes, they keep whipping up the fear.
Thanks. One of the better articles written by a journalist on SARS2. Sad on the hit and miss with blood.
If you wanted to cripple America, that would be the way to do it
..
alright men, back to the jockey shorts and keep it hot in there (I don’t know if that works, but, what else can one say to men afraid their testes might be invaded?)
Okay. In the battle in the arena of that subject area I am unarmed and defenseless. You can beat me until I am bloody and unconscious. I give up.
I'm going back to politics.
LOL. I just like to share information.
“Paging Black Agnes to the Low T courtesy phone!”
A few days ago, there was an article citing cases showing that men with lower testosterone levels may be more at risk.
Anyway, see the photos in the following. Notice any similarity?
