Breakthrough study might explain why people develop severe COVID-19

Doctors are saving more coronavirus patients than they could in March and April, as they’ve come up with new treatment protocols that involve new drug discoveries. They’re also used to the symptoms and have experience managing severe cases. But even so, the death toll continues to remain high because so many people get infected every day. Most of them will get over COVID-19 at home within two weeks. But some will develop complications that require hospitalization. Survival isn’t guaranteed after admission to the hospital, as we still lack the drugs that could ensure that complications won’t lead to death. Vaccines will prevent severe COVID-19, but the drugs can’t be used on patients who are already infected. That might change soon enough, however, and researchers from The Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh just released a breakthrough coronavirus study that explains why some people develop severe COVID-19.
