It makes me wonder about newly created lab viruses. Supposedly now there exists technology where they can design a virus to be dangerous only to specific genetic profiles.
Wuhan coronavirus affects Asians 5x as much because of their much greater manifestation of ACE2 receptors in their lungs. Men have higher manifestation than women, too.
It also has been spliced with HIV, work done in the Chinese government biolab back in 2007.

It's confirmed to be manmade.

Also interesting to see if people in areas with poor air quality have a higher mortality rate.
