The overall discussions reflect strong agreement, with many posts supporting the study's conclusion that higher ACE-2 levels in smokers and COPD patients increase COVID-19 susceptibility. Posts employ urgent language like 'Good time to stop smoking' and cite notable researchers, which highlights high interest and perceived high impact of the research on public health behaviors and policy, especially around smoking and COVID-19 risk management.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions emphasize the significance of the study, highlighting that increased ACE-2 expression is linked to higher COVID-19 risk in smokers and COPD patients, showing strong support for the findings.
InterestHigh interest
The posts demonstrate high interest by referencing related studies, mechanisms, and public health implications, indicating engagement with the topic’s importance.
EngagementModerate engagement
Many discussions include citations of specific researchers and calls for smoking cessation, suggesting a thoughtful and in-depth engagement, though some posts are more brief and cite the study without elaboration.
ImpactHigh impact
The widespread sharing of links, emphasis on smoking cessation, and discussions connecting ACE-2 levels with COVID-19 severity show that the discourse perceives the study as having substantial health and policy implications.
Abstract in brief
ACE2, the receptor used by the COVID-19 virus to enter cells, is found at higher levels in the small airway epithelia of smokers and those with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
This increased expression of ACE2 might make smokers and COPD patients more susceptible to severe COVID-19 infection.
The study suggests that understanding ACE2 levels could help in managing and preventing COVID-19 risks in these groups.]
A team led by Dr. Don Sin (@donsin4) at @HLIStPauls has shown for the first time that smokers and COPD patients have more ACE-2 protein in the lungs, possibly explaining why these populations have high rates of severe #COVID19 infection. https://t.co/qMCuvyGLna

@jojo_goeland @Senadu_ @LeiR3aG @docprimum Lol, non les profs Amoura et Changeux pensent qu aucune étude n a été faite dans le monde sur le tabac et le Covid , nuance
