COVID Toes, blisters, and splotchy red skin: Doctors share the new and unusual coronavirus symptoms

There is still a lot that we don't know about the novel coronavirus.

We originally thought of it as a virus that primarily attacked the lungs. After all, a cough and shortness of breath are some of the key signs of infection.

But the virus affects different people in different ways. Some may not have any symptoms at all, while others can be so sick that they need to be hospitalized. There's also mounting evidence to suggest that the elderly and children may have vastly different symptoms than the rest of the population.

COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, also reveals itself through skin problems, doctors are now learning.

I am not a CT aficionado, but if I were a bio warfare scientist looking for a weaponized superbug, this virus seems tough to beat.
