Great question.
So if I read that right and by all means someone check my understanding -
It’s not my hypertension that makes me more susceptible it’s my ACE2 inhibiting “Statin” drugs used to treat my hypertension that might make me more susceptible.
While reading up on that it is also what “Ibuprofen” does as it binds to ACE cells and causes it to be more susceptible to the protein spikes in SARS-Cov-2.
