Lungs of deceased COVID-19 patients show distinctive features.

In a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), senior author, Steven J. Mentzer, MD, thoracic surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a team of international researchers examined seven lungs obtained during autopsy from patients who died of COVID-19. They compared this group to seven autopsied lungs obtained from patients who died of acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to influenza A (H1N1) infection as well as to 10 age-matched uninfected control lungs.

Very interesting, thanks 2grey for post link.

I've had my DNA analysis through 23 and me (a gift from a friend in the US) Yesterday I completed their questionnaire in relation to covid-19 so it very much looks like they are going to be looking into the DNA geno link with survivors, symptoms etc, I think there is lot of information being assimilated and the full picture likely will be known in the future.

I have been in no doubt over the issue since I first learnt of it a few months ago.
