...Researchers believe the secretion of the sPLA2-IIA enzyme in COVID-19 patients could be the most important predictor of death in patients.

sPLA2-IIA, which has similarities to an active enzyme in rattlesnake venom, is found in low concentrations in healthy individuals and has long been known to play a critical role in defence against bacterial infections.

However, when the enzyme circulates at high levels, it has the capacity to shred the body’s vital organs, according to Floyd Chilton, senior author on the paper.

Who needs a test?

Folks should already know if they’re obese.

If you are, you should be more worried about CoupFlu. And a lot of other things.

Is anyone with hands on medical care of acute covid pos patients seeing evidence of organ sgredding? I would have seen it by now... easily detectable. So I am calling this one mythical at this stage... Maybe if the get a very rare re-infection or infection w a similar virus. Not enough breaktheough cases to see if the vax stimulates something like this. Will know that piece about May after the annual sick season concludes.
Our annual sick season will reveal much.. too late for midterms though.

Interesting... Quite a few commonly-prescribed beta-blockers were also developed from rattlesnake venom. Woo hoo. Maybe that means all those ‘can’t escape the fact I’m getting older’ meds the doc has been putting me on might give me some extra protection from the Wu-Flu! :P

The sPLA2-IIA enzyme may have a hereditary component.
