Why are some groups more vulnerable to COVID-19?
Thought LeadersDr. Jaswinder SinghAssociate ProfessorMcGill University
News-Medical speaks to Dr. Jaswinder Singh about his research surrounding why some groups are more susceptible to infection and severe cases of COVID-19, and why only certain animals are vulnerable to infection.
What led you to begin this research into COVID-19?
It is widely known and recognized that COVID-19: i) attacks some mammals but not others; and, ii) the attack is more severe in the case of the old and sick, than in the young and healthy.
Hitherto, no underlying explanations are known for these disparities in the infectivity of SARS-CoV2 and in the severity of the disease it causes, COVID-19. We set out to seek an explanation of these disparities.
