Not that I know of.What about old, fat, and orange? Is there any data about how it affects orange people?
My medical brother's theory is that black and dark skinned S Asian people tend to get Covid-19 worse due to lack of vitamin D, especially coming out of winter. Vitamin D is synthesised in the skin by the action of sunlight. Palaeontologists believe this is why people living in higher latitudes evolved lighter skin, to make the best use of the relatively low levels of sunlight. Vitamin D is important for full functioning of the immune system.
He suspects a simple vitamin D supplement might save quite a number of lives. But I don't know if this has been investigated and dismissed or whether nobody has thought of it.
I imagine an orange person would still absorb in the blue and possibly the UV, in which case Trump might be OK on that score. But from what he says, he may be sticking a tanning lamp up his arse anyway, so perhaps that will do the trick for him.
