Incredibly sensationalist and way over the top journalism produced by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)! This is tabloid journalism!
" ... “[The disease] can attack almost anything in the body with devastating consequences,” says cardiologist Harlan Krumholz of Yale University and Yale-New Haven Hospital, who is leading multiple efforts to gather clinical data on COVID-19. “Its ferocity is breathtaking and humbling.” ... a clear picture is elusive, as the virus acts like no pathogen humanity has ever seen. ..."
Some of this is just too laughable! E.g. is not the overreacting immune system in some patients?
" ... how the virus attacks cells around the body, especially in the roughly 5% of patients who become critically ill. ... Some clinicians suspect the driving force in many gravely ill patients’ downhill trajectories is a disastrous overreaction of the immune system known as a “cytokine storm,” which other viral infections are known to trigger."
What is it now! And remember 95% of all infected become only mildly ill or not ill at all!
