They’ve been saying obese people are in greater danger. So we’ll lose a little weight.
Then they’ve said men are more at risk due to testosterone we produce.
Uh, as I said we’ll lose a little weight and let’s leave it at that.

Just crap so the Dems can control what you eat and your weight or excuse to send you to a Gulag

Yeah! And who the hell had these cell receptors installed anyway....Bill Gates? ;-)

There’s catching it, confronting it, and being affected by it. Then, there’s Occam’s Razor. It’s more likely that being overweight impacts the third of those.

Fat makes everything taste better. Maybe it’s the same way for viruses.

Viruses feed on sugar. Bacteria certainly feeds on blood sugar, but viruses do not.

It is more of how much we eat. Think of it a bit differently. If people eat less, they will usually pay less for their food. With the savings there is more discretionary money. Plus they will generally feel much better not having to lug around the extra 20 or 30 lbs. Less meds to treat dm or htn or cardiac disease...lese m.d. visits...less morbidity...more activity. Win all around...the food police are just control freaks...take their sometimes good advice and tell them to buzz off.

An international study published this month in the European Heart Journal looked at ACE2 receptor levels in 1,485 men and 537 women with heart failure a major cause of high blood pressure. In men, ACE2 receptors were circulating in higher volumes in cells found in their blood and even in the testes.Paging Black Agnes to the Low T courtesy phone!
As an aside, it seems that the Brit tabloids just discovered that the virus gloms onto ACE2 receptors. We on these threads have known this for at least 2 months now. Enjoy.
PING!

Yes, and each receptor has a tiny molecule chain that translates into "666" in Arabic numerals.

Low T in adult males is usually due to derangement of insulin/glucose.
ACE2 is in the testes of all adult males.
I suspect every adult male who has CV, symptomatically, will experience a decrease in circulating T and swimmer count.
Whether it’s temporary or permanent is yet to be seen.

Theory? ACE2 is the binding site for the virus, studies going back to December have shown that.
The S protein spike of WuFlu was designed specifically for this location by Dr Zhengli, in research papers over many years, documenting gain of function testing.

Yeah, thanks.
I was going to say it too.
Don’t know why people they so many things that aren’t true.

Any thoughts why they would design the virus this way?

Women are in contact with soapy water more often than men—an advantage.
