What's in a name?
Why @WHO's formal name for the new #coronavirus #disease matters:

Sorting #fact from #fiction out about the #coronavirus:



#COVID19 #COVIDー19 #CoronaVirusUpdate #Pandemic?

A detailed explanation of the #coronavirus that causes #COVID__19/#COVID19/#COVIDー19

@MedCramVideos talks about #BloodClots, #Clots forming in real time, also #Stroke(s) in asymptomatic #coronavirus infections.
The #ClottingCascade, your body releasing #VonWillebrandFactor which is a #coagulant, countered by #UFH.

This is because #coronavirus binds & destroys #Ace2Receptor(s) causing the underprodution,or non-production of #AT1 -> #ATII which creates #AT1_7 (a highly benificial natural #vasodilator that lowers #inflammation).

This inhibition of #ACE2 receptors allows #ANGII levels to dramatically increase. This leads to disorders that result in oxidative stress, negative #inflammation/abberent vascular responses and #atherothombisis (clots)

When a person breathes in the #SARS_CoV2/#coronavirus it first attacks the #ACE2Receptors in the lungs of a patient. This starts lung inflammation/fluid build up, resulting #hypoxia. This is why #ventilators are used.
However, as this lung infection is taking place, which happens

2 - 4 days before dizziness and shortness of breath, #COVID19 exponentially continues to multiply everywhere in your body. This means into your blood vessels which also have #ACE2Receptors inside of them!
This causes an unabashed release of #ATII, #VWF, (#VonWillebrandFactor)

causing #thrombosis (the formation of #bloodclot(s)/#clots) This is when the "#GroundGlass" lungs start to happen, sometimes times, before lung symptoms become bad enough for hospitalization.

People with #diabetes, #cardiovasculardisease & #obesity are incurring the most #oxidativestress.
These "#HappyHypoxics" are the folks who are hooked up to a #ventalator but deteriorate into #cardiovascular collapse & #clot(s).
These people are more likely to die from #COVID19.
