And they're talking about serious damage which leaves people in an advanced state of disrepair, so to speak, sometimes even amputations and neurological damage from stroke.
The problem is the this ACE-2 receptor protein is also heavily expressed in the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels throughout the body. Then since the virus easily infects such cells, all sorts of serious inflammation symptoms develop, many due to clotting blockage of micro blood vessel circulation.
Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall. ... so, vascular endothelial cells line the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest capillaries.
