COVID 19 Technical Discussion by a Lung Doctor - Dr Mike Hansen

I don't own the copyright to this video. I am just sharing it for information purposes in the light of this global pandemic where there is no short term solution. 

The short summary is this ; the virus respects no one. However, there are some advantages 

a) Esterogen plays a part in inhibiting some of the effects of the disease. Women seem less likely to fall seriously ill or even ill at all. Males are worse hit.

b) Age and underlying symptoms do affect the severity of the disease 

c) Coronary Heart disease whereby there are calcification of the arteries can accentuate the disease especially when it causes a cytokine storm.

d) Cytokine storm is when the body's immune system goes into overdrive, and the white blood cells create so much more bad than good. No one at this juncture knows why this is so and who has overreacting immune systems.

e) There are many 'tools' to combat this, and tweaking the ventilators as well as the right dosages of medicines at critical times can and do mitigate the disease.
