Wow Tincup. Zona looks interesting and well done for your amazing results with it!

You have once again made me feel better. I've always had really low blood pressure so hopefully that will count in my favour.

Thanks again for your reassurance.

Re: Genetic Risk Factor for Covid-19

T is the same as A, so all's well there. :D (And C is the same as G.)

Re: Genetic Risk Factor for Covid-19

Hmmm...on 23andme it says that rs2070788 only has A and G variants so that's weird about the T variant.
