According to this article it is possible that genes can determine one's risk factor for COVID-19. If scientists discover ways to link genetics and COVID-19 together then finding cures and drugs to treat the virus will become much easier. Simple genetics testing founded from universal healthcare can help detect genes that cause people to be more susceptible to COVID-19. The genes can also tell us when and how to fight the virus. In my opinion genetic testing can help us find COVID cures faster.

I agree that knowing our genes that make people more vulnerable to the virus is a good way to help with combatting it. Genetics will most likely be how we come up with vaccines and try to stop this virus.
