It's actually a pneumonia, but any upper respiratory infection will have the same symptoms.

I've read a lot of things. From "it's a pneumonia but different because it attacks both lungs" to "it gets in the blood and frees the iron in hemoglobins, leading to hyperemia, and putting patients on respirators is the wrong way to go about it because no matter how much oxygen you put in their lungs, there's not enough hemoglobin to transport it when symptoms show up and they get diagnosed" or even "it can attack nerves as seen in patients who have lost the senses of taste and smell".

I've read the articles on the hemoglobin attack. I still haven't seen anything that refutes that theory. I will say, I've seen plenty of evidence that Covid 19 is a Blood disease and not a respiratory disease. (The bi-lateral "pneumonia" is a symptom of the problems absorbing oxygen) Once your cells are infected with CV-19, the underlying trajectory of bad symptoms is always the same, regardless of if you call it a respiratory disease or blood disease.

The main symptom that causes the downward spiral is the reduced O2Sat. Once your O2Sat starts dropping, organs that need the oxygen start weakening which reduces the body's ability to fight the disease, which causes your O2Sat to drop even further.

If you have CV19, just monitor your own O2Sat with a simple, inexpensive, small, reusable, battery powered device called a Pulse Oximeter. If your O2Sat starts dropping below 95%, then you've got a slight problem. See a Doctor, get HCQS if you can.

If you wait until the O2Sat is in the 50's, you've got a serious problem and these are the folks they put on the ventilators which don't do anything except exacerbate lung issues.

This is different from the common cold and flu, but most of the time it's not serious at all.

Makes sense, as doctors are trained to fight symptoms and not the root cause.

also, if your upper respiratory system is infected hard with a virus it could easily block your ability to taste, smell, and get enough oxygen.

Viruses get in your cells and control them, replicating that way. Bacteria just coats shit in Bacteria.

The only thing that seems to be backed up by the information is that it can cause pneumonia. That's why the steroidal breathing treatment was looking promising and the original focus on ventilators.

The rest seems to be fear mongering or due to the bullshit of diagnosing EVERYTHING as covid death. However, I don't know much about the mechanics of viruses and perhaps that's something that happens when the virus gets too far along without being killed off.

Ask yourself, if all of those crazy things were true.... wouldn't the many millions of people who tested positive had some symptoms sending them for testing rather than the fear driving them to the mass testing facilities?

You shouldn't underestimate what people will do out of fear. And the misleadia has been hard at work fear-mongering people.

Because we've been coddling people for so long. Letting them circlejerk themselves into being stupid for so long.
