Sharing some highly technical information that has been discovered in latest research ...

.

New theory is coming up for lung involvement in COVID 19. Based on observations in USA , Spain , Italy .

Most of the postmortem revealed pulmonary thorombosis not typical ARDS also patient hypoxemia not responding to PEEP but high Fio2 .

Like methemoglobin, the virus structural protein, sticks to heme - displaces oxygen - displaces iron - free iron toxicity causes inflammation of alveolar macrophages- leads to CT scan changes.

No benefit of invasive ventilation . May require frequent blood transfusions.

The virus attacks beta chain, dissociates heme, removing iron & converting it to porphyrin.

Virus can dissociate oxy-Hb, carboxy-Hb and

glycocilated Hb. Lung inflammation from inability of both oxygen & CO2 exchange, ground glass x rays, like CO2 poisoning.

Chloroquine competes the binding to porphyrin.

Favipiravir binds to the virus envelope protein with very high affinity, prevents entry into the cells as well as binding of structural protein to porphyrin.

Studies point towards a change in modality of treatment that might be the need of the hour benefiting the patients with severe lung involvements.

Observation by my Father who is a doc ..

Emergencies other than Covid have dramatically reduced.

And no,l don't think people with heart attacks are staying at home.l think staying at home and not stressing about commuting to and from work,worrying about the next target and the next raise or promotion,not having to deal with a bad boss etc has dramatically reduced stress.

People now actually have the time to live their lives.

It is time the human race decided whether this endless race for more and more economic prosperity is what we actually want.

Maybe the very concept of economic growth is flawed.
