Bingo! I read those reports a couple weeks ago. It's not the lungs, it's the hemoglobin's ability (or lack of) to grab oxygen. How can so many other scientists and medical "experts" be so wrong in the attached article on this thread? Sars-CoV-2 strips away iron ions in hemoglobin cells, so they can't absorb oxygen let alone transport it to organs throughout the body. The lungs are tossing oxygen, but the blood won't receive! Failed passes. So the liver starves, the kidneys starve, the brain starves, every part of the body is starving for oxygen. Meanwhile, the freed iron ions wreak havoc in the lungs and destroy cells there.

Where are you finding that?
Nothing like it is showing up at NIH or Nature.com
That is the fast replicating version of this virus.
