I don't know about other places, but people being able to stop working, stop stressing, lay in a lounge chair in the garden and read a book or nap seems to be having a great effect on stress-related health problems!

No!
Not the sex organs!!
Damn you, China!

But Bonow said the damage observed in COVID-19 patients could be from the virus directly infecting the heart muscle. Initial research suggests the coronavirus attaches to certain receptors in the lungs, and those same receptors are found in heart muscle as well.
Tissue distribution of ACE2 protein, the functional receptor for SARS coronavirus. A first step in understanding SARS pathogenesis.
Since identifying the possible route of infection has major implications for understanding the pathogenesis and future treatment strategies for SARS,
the present study investigated the localization of ACE2 protein in various human organs (oral and nasal mucosa, nasopharynx, lung, stomach, small intestine, colon, skin, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, spleen, liver, kidney, and brain).
The most remarkable finding was the surface expression of ACE2 protein on lung alveolar epithelial cells and enterocytes of the small intestine.
Furthermore, ACE2 was present in arterial and venous endothelial cells and arterial smooth muscle cells in all organs studied.
In conclusion, ACE2 is abundantly present in humans in the epithelia of the lung and small intestine, which might provide possible routes of entry for the SARS-CoV. This epithelial expression, together with the presence of ACE2 in vascular endothelium, also provides a first step in understanding the pathogenesis of the main SARS disease manifestations.

For every person who has their stress relieved, there's probably ten who have their levels raised. People who have lost their jobs, are losing their business, people who don't know when they will get their next paycheck.
Right now, anybody who dies is going to have their cause of death listed as Corona virus related. There's funding to be gained here, money coming into State and Local governments, agendas to be pushed, so right now the default cause of death is Corona related.
Get used to it. Police Departments have been hyping alcohol related incidents and accidents for years, to get grants from organizations like MADD.

There is about nineteen inches of snow left in our yard and five to seven foot banks around the ice rink that is my driveway. I hate sitting in a lounge chair and I do not like reading books other than medicine and healthcare types of books. I usually prefer to research things on the internet, but am also getting tired of looking at evidence that is twisted to profit from us or to make us fear or hate..

Makes sense. I must be lucky because the spring weather is really nice here and I take long walks in the forest everyday. The whole fear and hate thing doesn't resonate with me. I don't even watch the news. Ever.

Well, Covid 19 is causing heart damage and cardiac arrest. Most people are unaware of this.
Mysterious Heart Damage, Not Just Lung Troubles, Befalling COVID-19 Patients
khn.org...
In addition to lung damage, many COVID-19 patients are also developing heart problems — and dying of cardiac arrest.
As more data comes in from China and Italy, as well as Washington state and New York, more cardiac experts are coming to believe the COVID-19 virus can infect the heart muscle. An initial study found cardiac damage in as many as 1 in 5 patients, leading to heart failure and death even among those who show no signs of respiratory distress.
That work has already resulted in changes in the way hospitals deal with the cardiac implications of COVID-19. Doctors have found that the infection can mimic a heart attack. They have taken patients to the cardiac catheterization lab to clear a suspected blockage, only to find the patient wasn’t really experiencing a heart attack but had COVID-19.
Jorde said that after COVID-19 patients recover, they could have long-term effects from such heart damage.
Once the virus damages the lungs it gets into the blood and can travel to multiple organs. It can cause remote infections. It also can destroy the liver, pancrease and kidneys, even the sex organs.

But it has to get into the circulatory system to get to the heart to infect it. I would think that severe lung symptoms would manifest for that to happen. If I am understanding this right, someone is saying that asymptomatic people are having heart issues from this virus. Maybe the enzyme the virus is getting could eat through the cells and do it's damage, but there would be a severe infection if that is the case.
I have not seen any rational evidence to be able to tell what could be happening. I have read many hundreds of studies of this now, every day I must read twenty or more articles on it from scientific or medical sites. They seemed to be stumped on what is happening, first they say it is this, then they change their tune all together and say it is probably something else.
I suppose it is a novel virus. Some of that research may be correct, but it seems like they are making a lot of wrong conclusions as they are researching this, it does not seem to act like SARS much.
I have been spending most of my time trying to hack the chemistry that is being said is helping people and looking for it in natural or readily available sources. Often a different chemistry that is in our food can do the same thing as the medicines they are designing. But I do read some of the more official conclusions on how this virus is hurting people.
I am good at hacking medicines and figuring out possible side effects that might not be being stressed to the patients and society.

Well that sure as hell doesn't sound like the flu virus. What is really going on?

i read something last week talking about how it gets in the gut bacteria and is then spread into bloodstream by that method. The author also says it is viral sized bacteria and not a virus. I have no idea how much credence, if any, to that story. I think it was probably posted here.
