Men with longer ring fingers are at a lower risk of dying from coronavirus, a scientist has claimed. Professor John Manning, an evolutionary biology expert at Swansea University, explained that males exposed to more testosterone in the womb tend to grow longer ring fingers.
And the hormone may produce more of a compound called ACE-2, which helps the body to fight the virus. Speaking to The Sun, Professor Manning said: “The theory is that someone with high prenatal testosterone — and a long ring finger — has greater levels of ACE2. “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.” Professor Manning’s claims come shortly after
