Men with longer ring finger have a better odd surviving Coronavirus if infected, according to a new research.
The new research conducted by scientists at Swansea University suggests that men with longer ring fingers have hormones that may produce more of a compound called ACE2, which helps the body to fight the virus.
Scientists who studied 200,000 people in 41 countries found male death rates were a third higher in countries where men had shorter ring fingers.
Prof John Manning of Swansea University said this may give Australia, New Zealand, Austria and East Asian nations, where male ring fingers are longer, “a biological advantage”.
It was also learnt that men in England and Wales, who tend to have shorter ring fingers, make up 56 per cent of all deaths.
“These concentrations are large enough to oppose the virus.
“Our findings may be men with long ring fingers will experience mild symptoms and could return to work.”
