Blame the Neanderthals found in the genes of vulnerability to the coronavirus

Vulnerability to coronavirus was given to humans from Neanderthals -- genes that increase the risk of severe COVID-19, fell from them to the people, about 60 thousand years ago, according to German scientists. Perhaps at the time these genes are protected from other diseases, causing a reaction of the immune system, however, in the case of SARS-COV-2 the reaction is too strong and harm the patient.
