SARS2 spike protein binds to Glucose Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78) just like Pep42 of cancer cells does. >

A link between HAPE (High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and COVID-19 is Aldosterone. Glucocorticoids may help preserve endothelial cell membrane.
"The plasma aldosterone level rose continuously and on the last day of altitude was significantly elevated."

2/ "A possible explanation is that inhaled budesonide, as a glucocorticoid agent, preserved the integrity of pulmonary endothelial cell membrane.."

3/ Acclimatization at high altitude is dependent upon a response reducing Aldosterone.
"Indeed it is a relatively consistent finding that if this response does not occur and plasma aldosterone is elevated then this is associated with increased fluid retention and AMS."

So as a #disinfo researcher with a past medical background, I am desperately trying to understand a tweet like this, the science and validity behind it and the social media buzz / misinformation around it. #covid19 #coronavirus #CoronavirusPandemic
Interest among the non-medical public started a few days ago when Trump mentioned that Chloroquine, an anti-malarial drug & immunosuppressant, was now FDA approved 2 treat #COVID19. That of course got walked back & here is part of my thread from Thursday
Since then and because Trump again tweeted about it as noted at the start of this thread, buzz continues to grow around a very small clinical study in France by physician Didier Raoulta. I will try to get into some of the major caveats with it later. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
