Our findings are contrary to the expectation from ACE2 being only a receptor for the virus, instead, its expression level is high in Asian females and young people (Figure 1 and Table 1), those who are known to be less susceptible, and even less inflicted by severe or fatal outcome, while it is low in males, further decrease with age and T2D, those who are most susceptible to bad outcome (Figures 1 and 3), suggesting at a population level a negative correlation between ACE2 expression and COVID‐19 severity and fatality. Here, ACE2 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
