I'm not going bother repeating myself on this particular subject (again) but I thought the attached article might amuse you, if nothing else. It's from last year and deals with the link between Neanderthal ancestry and severe CV19. Most Europeans have some neanderthal in them but I was interested to see that the highest levels of such ancestry and therefore linked susceptibility are in SE Asia, Southern China and PNG.
The pdf is 6Mb so I hope you'll be satisfied with:
The major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neanderthals - Nature
Risk of severe COVID-19 is conferred by a genomic segment that is inherited from Neanderthals and is carried by around 50% and 16% of people in south Asia and Europe, respectively.www.nature.com
Hmm, don't know about amuse me. Had to pop out to Tesco for more paracetamol.
