Neither am I a DR so want to preface that again.

Neither am I a DR so want to preface that again.

What I think we are all learning:

It’s a virus. Enters the body as a virus. Maybe anti-virals can stop it here. Early. Maybe not.

If not, it takes over the immune system and drug antivirals can no longer do anything. No good anymore.

After this occurs, TCells, macrophages get hijacked, Natural Kilker cells go way down, cytokines storm occurs etc etc

At this time of immuno chaos, individual human bodies experience individual and systematic attacks. Perhaps one day we can post-mortem all of the reasons.

Many types of failure occur in this chaos depending on individual. Kidney failure, lung failure, heart attack, stroke.

I have a laymen’s feeling that the stroke described in article is platelet/virus corona spikes related, these things are adhering to each other like sand spurs. Sticky cells.

So Jmcll, my answer is it’s not exactly cytokine storm like we see in lungs attacking lung tissue. But it’s related. It’s part of immune system chaos. In some way in the blood it’s making blood sticky. Too sticky. I bet those blood cells are alive. Not destroyed by cytokine attack.

Again, layman science guy, no doctor.
