Covid-19 may be a blood vessel disease
- bookmarkable 6y agoVery informative article and a new angle in the fight against this disease.
- foolzcrow 6y agoHead to toe symptoms could also be from false covid diagnosis. ie they died of clotting and were called covid for the $13,000 that diagnosis brings the hospital.
- Etheryte 6y agoExceptional claims should have exceptional proof and starting off with "explains everything" is simply clickbait. If you want a scientific, non-sensational overview of how research is going on the Covid front, I suggest Derek Lowe's blog instead [1].

- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoThe article was a very well written lay reader summary of a couple of recent papers offering a different perspective on what the core mechanisms in COVID-19 might be. Even the title didn't claim to "explain everything" and the body of the text certainly did not. [ Edited for community norms and ethics ]
- Simulacra 6y agoPlease don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- Etheryte 6y agoThe article title on HN has been editorialized to be more reasonable, on Medium the article's title is "Coronavirus May Be a Blood Vessel Disease, Which Explains Everything".
- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoThat is an entirely legimitate point, and one I confess I had overlooked (I was referring to the HN title). I still feel that the contents of the article are of a very different tone to the admittedly clickbait headline/title.
