It's a race-specific virus. It targets ACE-2:

which makes it more dangerous for people with Chinese ethnicity:
https://www.nature.com/articles/1000856 "Does Chinese ethnicity affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors?"
and for men:

When you know that the media lies to cover up crimes, you can observe when they lie and deduce that they are covering up a crime.
The New York Times has some false reasons for the fact that people of Chinese ethnicity and men are more vulnerable to the virus:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/20/health/coronavirus-men-women.html
So the New York Times doesn't want you to know about ACE-2 and the fact that the virus targets Chinese people and men. They want you to blame it on smoking and the theory that “There’s something about the immune system in females that is more exuberant.”
Ok, who does the New York Times serve? America? No. A foreign nation.
Question: Who else apart from Chinese men is targeted by the virus?
Answer: Senior Iranian government officials are dropping like flies.
Is there any nation that likes engineering race-specific diseases and wants to take out the Iranian government?

It takes a year to develop a vaccine. Is there any nation that seems to have a head start with the research on this coronavirus?

Is there a person loyal to this nation who was illegally bringing sensitive biological research to Wuhan, where the outbreak occurred? Dr Charles Lieber, Chairjew of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University is such a person, and he was recently arrested.
It's not every day that a head of a department at Harvard is arrested for smuggling sensitive biotechology research to Wuhan. Maybe he did something worse than lacking candor in his grant applications.
