I'm not a medical professional, but there is speculation that this is a virus that affects the blood, and all the problems it causes with other organs are a result of the way it affects the blood. This is why the standard vent settings are believed to be wrong and are only keeping alive 20% of people on vents, and might also tie in with the speculation that people with different blood types react differently to the infection.

I think we read the same article, or at least articles based on the same theory.

We don’t understand this virus yet. That’s why we need to be careful. Not just to flatten the curve, but also to try to get it later, when it’s better understood and treatment protocols have been adapted to information.

Do you know what the "H" in HIV stands for? Do you really think humans invented HIV and then deliberately went to Africa to infect a random person with it?

Maybe humans contracted HIV by killing and eating infected monkeys instead of by having relations with them, but the virus definitely came from monkeys and is definitely not man-made.

The original clusters of infection all started in areas where monkey meat was a staple food, and monkey colonies in the area tested positive for SIV. This is the prevailing theory of origin among academics, and the most likely. SIV is presumed to be over 10,000 years old, and that gives it plenty of time to mutate.

One part of what makes a virus a pandemic, is if it has an extremely long incubation period. The longer you are asymptomatic, the more you can transmit it to others. This is why healthy young people and children are such dangerous carriers. It's also why someone with HIV can live an asymptomatic life for 10 or more years, and then suddenly fall ill and die with little warning at all.

(Never mind the fact that a Corona virus and a Retrovirus operate in entirely different ways.)
