Reply to comment by MarineLife42 in Even if a virus doesn’t provoke a (noticeable) immune response in asymptomatic people, why don’t the deaths/lysis of the hijacked cells cause severe health effects in and of themselves? by Chewie83

Do you have any sources on what you wrote eabout people having different #s of ACE proteins? Just out of curiosity. I didn't know that people had dramatically different numbers of ACE proteins

I can‘t point you to specific papers at the moment because I am at home where my access is limited. Here‘s a link to a number of papers going in that direction. As you can see, they not only explore the location of the ACE2 protein but also the small variations between the proteins that people exhibit.
