Thanks.  A good read!  Slowly, but surely, we are learning more about this disease.

At one point in the article, a reader will feel like the immune system is the big problem.  But keep reading.  The last part addresses other aspects that the virus may be causing directly.

Thankfully I didn’t learn much I hadn’t already from reading that in terms of clinical impacts, and come away thinking this is worse than I assumed. Already have come to those conclusions. Still, the discussion in that article is in language very easy to understand and makes it a highly recommended read to summarize what is known, and the questions researchers are trying to answer.

The greatest mystery and arguably most existential mystery is what will be the long-term impacts for those who have Covid-19 and how do they manifest as a function of previously expressed clinical features.
