APOE4 and covid 19

It seems people with APOE4 are more at risk.

[www.sciencenews.org]

ApoE4's that are metabolically healthy have ~ 0.2x risk of CVD and those who aren't have >2x risk of non 4's.

See table.

Most people are not metabolically healthy. My point is that metabolically healthy ApoE4's may not be at same risk as those who aren't.

FWIW (probably not much) I have 1 x ApoE3 and 1 x ApoE4 (along with around 30% of the general population) and Covid 19 barely gave me any symptoms at all.
