A member asked:
It's scary the racism some people are displaying about covid-19, but are there any groups that genetically get more severe or less severe symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Almost certainly not. There are very few important differences in disease susceptibility among human race/ethnicity groups, and especially few (if any) for infectious diseases.
