    There are three possible reasons you set out above, even assuming there is a susceptibility difference, but genetic and behavioural were not on her radar: which appeared to me to be point scoring. Maybe you read diffeent reports.
    Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps it got ‘lost in translation’, I don’t know.

    The point is...there is, or appears to be, an issue relating to ethnicity, and although the ‘age, weight and infirmity’ aspects are fairly universal with all diseases, there may also be an issue with the gender factor.

    Put it this way...there are no guarantees, but I would fancy my chances of avoiding this joy sucking virus more as a 35 year white female than as an fifty something year old Asian guy. That needs looking into both from a preventative and an investigative point of view, just as it would if things were the other way round.
