The ACE2 receptor is the protein the virus locks onto to get into the cell and the reason diabetics and those with high blood pressure are getting battered by this virus.
But that's because of the associated medication they have to take for those ailments isn't it? I have not understood why having blood pressure in itself without taking medication would impact the ACE2 receptor's normal response and functionality.
