The infection of SARS-CoV has been reported in the brains from both patients and experimental animals, where the brainstem was heavily infected. Furthermore, some coronaviruses have been demonstrated able to spread via a synapse-connected route to the medullary cardiorespiratory center from the mechano- and chemoreceptors in the lung and lower respiratory airways. In light of the high similarity between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2, it is quite likely that the potential invasion of SARS-CoV2 is partially responsible for the acute respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients.

“Said there was a riot at Costco over toilet paper...”
Yeah. “Seattle nice” only lasts for so long. I went to the hardware store for some more duct tape and plastic sheeting to add to my existing supply. (Create decontamination zones. Good for 100 other uses as well).
Then stopped by the grocery store to wander around (okay - bought a couple bags of chips). The hardware store had about half their supply of TP and paper towels still on the shelf. (Hint, hint). The grocery store was wiped out of that sort of stuff. Also the “feminine” articles.
icky poo surfaces? :-)
So pneumonia and cytokine storms might be an only partial explanation for respirtory failure.
Respiratory
When I was reading up on the effectiveness of masks, I read about how just with normal breathing, the virus will be breathed out. And with the normal flu, even someone that isn’t sick will have a certain amount of the flu virus in their exhaled breath.
The US was reactive and not proactive. Contact tracing is impossible now to mitigate surface contamination with isolation and quarantine.
That is the reason it is so deep in the lung - tiny particles that can float in the air (9 hours iirc) and travel hundreds of feet.
I like your hardware store tip—most folks won’t be thinking that way.
I stocked up on junk food of all sorts—it lasts a long time, and we will eat it eventually.
Day to day we eat healthy...the junk food is for emergencies only. ;-)

from your link, about 4 comments below the Russians pic, unannounced cases in Los Altos??

Well.... While I don’t rule out a lab as the “source” of COVID-19, the odds are heavily against it. Mo’ Nature (or God, if you like) is far, far more adept at this sort of thing than we are.
Somebody tell the “it’s just a head cold” or “same as the flu” trolls about the brain stem infection findings.
Walmart sent a memo to U.S. store employees on Friday explaining how the company is responding to the novel coronavirus...The memo also discouraged face masks for general use, citing recommendations from the CDC.
LOL!
Yeah, I don’t know. “Fomites” doesn’t work though.
Could flooding the lungs with fluid disable these "mechano- and chemoreceptors in the lung", and that alone interrupts the breathing reflex? Or are they claiming, or suspecting, that the infection that somehow reached the brain stops the breathing reflex?
Reminds me of the stories of birds dropping out of the sky, suddenly dead. I guess that's what has happened to some in China ... people just suddenly drop dead.
people are stealing masks from our hospital....we can’t live them out on isolation carts because the whole box will be taken....
Over the weekend I posted the work of scientist Trevor Bedford who had mapped the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 in the Snohomish patient. Here’s an update/more detail

Mother Nature apparently has a problem with old people collecting social security and Medicare lol.
