There seem to be new risk factors postulated for contracting  Covid-19 infections on a daily basis (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/31/baldness-rashes-covid-19-risk-factors-symptoms-hearing-loss-coronavirus-studies). I have got used to age being a factor (and there is nothing much any of us can to about that). Thank goodness, however, that I am not bald and tall. The link to length (I am 2m) is based on one slightly odd, preliminary study, suggesting that the finding gives support to the aerosol mode of infection (hot air with breathed out droplets containing the virus rises).
