7. I think you are correct

My son (a doctor, insert Jewish joke here), has been saying for a month now that the virus is attacking hemoglobin.

This is why you get people slowly dying from lack of oxygen. It's not the lungs, per se The lung problems are a symptom.

Similarly, as the heme breaks off, iron is freed into to the tissues -- causing massive oxidative stress and inflammation.

Hence why a malarial drug (hydrochloroquine, et al) works -- another blood disease. HCQ is not doing anything to the virus, but rather preventing harm from the virus. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory (hence, lupus)

Large IV doses of Vitamin C (anti-oxidant) seem to be helping.

Aspirin seems to be helping (anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting).

Vitamin D, etc.

And, plus, just a general, good, healthy, diet.

My son really wishes Trump had kept his mouth shut re: HCQ and made it a political issue. He opines early intervention with HCQ is a huge benefit.
