conditions cause the lungs to increase the number of ACE2 receptors. This virus happens to attach itself to ACE2 receptors which are only found in the lungs and intestines. China has a heavy population of male smokers and horrible air quality.
These factors were contributing heavily to the severe and fatal cases.
