The findings were published earlier this week in medical journal Cellular and Molecular Immunology and were in line with previous fears expressed by doctors that the virus could cause damage similar to what’s seen in HIV patients.

Great, illegal cells taking over the T cells. The body cannot protect itself.

THAT just makes my day. Thank you, China. /SARC

So maybe the four gene sequence insertions in this virus from the HIV virus aren’t an accident?

Maybe?

With something like 98% recovering, looks like the immunity cells or whatever pretty much have a commanding lead over the virus cells.

“The scientists did note one main difference in their comparison between coronavirus and HIV.

In COVID-19 patients, coronavirus was not able to grow or generate more infected cells after latching onto T cells.”

Hey, but the clickbait was worth it, I guess.

More like 94% recovering world wide.

Lower if you subtract China’s numbers.

The case fatality rate is already 3.8%.

If it didnt do this, we would not be reading this right now.

Its still fairly significant. So what that it doesn’t replicate using the T-Cells, they still manage to kill them off by attaching to the surface.

I thought the Z pack part of the hydro cocktail was to protect against other infections while the immunity is compromised.

I think it's very possible this virus escaped from a Chinese lab. It makes you wonder, "What's next?"

Not a bio-weapon.

So, how does this factor in with the knowledge that - as we’ve been led to believe - some people wind up with antibodies to the virus who have never experienced any symptoms of it?

Early theories and rumors were that the Wuhan biological warfare lab technicians tried to mutate a combined HIV and SARS molecule inside a protein coat to create an unstoppable new bioweapon to test against us.

Chicoms will never tell the truth but that is sounding more likely among the wild rumors now.

There still is no cure for AIDS (HIV) but we didn’t shut the nation down over it.

Yeah I think the death toll would be in the tens of millions.

You should look up how you get AIDS. Just a hint, you don’t catch it from someone coughing on you.

That’s almost as concerning as the corresponding mechanism in HIV, so not entirely clickbait. Remember, all it has to do to win is: outproduce T-cells and tie them up at a one to one ratio.

There are early reports that a currently tiny but growing number of people who ‘recovered’ have had the thing ‘reactivate’.

It was engineered at the Wuhan P-4 Level Lab.

Makes me very uneasy to think about that. But I am much against the shut down of the economy. Whatever is happening, we need to stay productive.
