Thesis I’m hearing: did chronic air pollution in China immunocompromise lungs and make it easier for the virus?
Wuhan doesn’t appear to have the *worst* air pollution. It’s normally #93 in China, #146 in world.
But maybe it doesn’t need to be the worst, just bad.

This is just a thesis, and would require careful epidemiological investigation.
One analysis might be to plot infection severity vs time spent in a city with high air pollution. Like being a smoker.
Or you might need to get more granular — the specific chemicals could matter.

I’m reminded also of the tests for body burden & toxic load.
While personal genomics will show you your genome, and wearables will show you things like heart rate, these tests show what chemicals you have been exposed to.
One example:
