Sciencefag weighs in on transmission mechanism for COVID-19:
>I am only typing this message so that anyone reading won’t dismiss your point due to some minor discrepancies about the science of coronavirus. This is purely for education of all reading. No offense is meant in any way.
>Viruses typically need “help” in order to infect cells. In this case, the infected cells are lung cells (aka pneumocytes). Specifically, those infected are Type II pneumocytes.
>The way COVID-19 gains access is via ACE-2. ACE 2 is expressed on the membrane of the lung cell. Virus attaches at ACE 2 and then crosses membrane and goes to work.
>Everyone produces ACE 2, but a high percentage of Asians have genetics that code for higher numbers of ACE 2 so they are at a much higher risk of becoming infected.
