@statnews ACE-2 receptors. But while the nasal passages have lots of cells with these receptors, muscle cells do not. But Adipose tissue has increased ACE2 & Ivermectin targets adipose tissue. Merck, use the Ivermectin, Please.

@statnews I feel I heard about this last month on This Week in Virology
