Interesting article on the front page of Nature today, perhaps acting as a very strong opening act for Dr. Patterson's paper. Here's an excerpt:
"A SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger an excessive immune response known as a cytokine storm, which can lead to multiple organ failure and death. The virus can also infect the intestines, the heart, the blood, sperm (as can MERS-CoV), the eye and possibly the brain. Damage to the kidney, liver and spleen observed in people with COVID-19 suggests that the virus can be carried in the blood and infect various organs or tissues , says Guan Wei-jie, a pulmonologist at the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health at Guangzhou Medical University, China, an institution lauded for its role in combating SARS and COVID-19. The virus might be able to infect various organs or tissues wherever the blood supply reaches, says Guan.
But although genetic material from the virus is showing up in these various tissues, it is not yet clear whether the damage there is being done by the virus or by a cytokine storm , says Wendtner. “Autopsies are under way in our centre. More data will come soon,” he says."

I truly can't wait for Dr. Patterson's article to get published and I hope it's even bigger than we are all hoping it will be.
