You do not die of the virus.
You die of the opportunistic bacterial infection the virus creates the conditions for.
I have suffered chronic sinus infections my entire adult life and have acquired expertise in surviving them.
It served me so well surviving the Fauci/China biological warfare virus that I did not even know I had it in nyil months later when I gave blood and the antibodies showed up.
Glad you have survived with your expertise knowing your body.
Less frequently, sometimes COVID triggers Cytokine storms directly, does it not?
