Some paper also indicated (very)weak evidence of discrepancies in susceptibility between Asians and other races and at the moment I’m unaware of any confirmed deaths that aren’t east asian.
There’s at least two Iranians now, and the thick spread has so far been primarily in Asia aside from the cruise ship which we are only just getting to the point that we’re starting to see deaths, and i’m pretty sure that data is confounded by the smoking effect because I have seen a follow-up that got to more of a tissue bank and did not see ethnicity differences.
Was that the analysis that provide the information on smoking in China by gender—which was then consistent with the pattern in China of the majority of deaths being older males with existing health, and particularly respiratory, weakness.
Iran is accelerating quickly it seems -- 4 deaths now and 13 new cases, in less than a day from the first report I think
I’m combining that analysis with another preprint that went into more extensive higher N tissue bank data and found no correlation of ACE2 expression with ethnicity or gender.
To top it off with Iran, now we have local authorities saying its in many cities and TWO confirmed international travelers that caught it in Iran over the last few weeks (in Canada and Lebanon). That is the smoking gun, i’m calling thousands of cases there as of now.
I’m starting to suspect I won’t be getting to that conference this June...
