Dear CNBC team and Mr Cramer, It was interesting hearing Chairman Powell’s comments on ‘if’ there is a second wave. Let’s just look at Boston with 10% of the population infected to date. That means 90% of Boston’s population are still at risk of contracting this virus: If you multiply that by the rest of your country and the world, with 90% of people at risk of contracting the virus a second wave is almost inevitable. We have to remember that if you go on a ventilator, it can take upwards of a year of recovery to get back to one’s normal condition. If you have time take at look at what I’ve put together on what the virus does to the human body, and the scary thing is they haven’t found all it can do yet. What the virus can do. What I have taken home about this virus is that when the Coronovirus lands in our eyes, nose or mouth or when we inhale it, the spike proteins of the virus bind to the ACE 2 Receptors of the cells. That’s how it gains entry. Once it gains entry, not only does it make millions of copies of itself but it also affects the cells ability to call for help. The cells have to become very infected before the immune system knows something is wrong or what's going on. Once it is deeply imbedded in our body it begins to cause more severe disease. Organs that have ACE 2 Receptors are the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, liver and brain. Viral particles can be found in nasal passages, throat, tears, the stool, kidneys, liver, pancreas, heart and CSF (Cerebral spinal fluid). The virus can also cause meningitis. Our immune system reaction causes inflammation and blood clots in the arterioles of the lungs. In brief: 1. It directly attacks organs by their ACE 2 Receptors. 2. It indirectly attacking organs by way of collateral damage from the Cytokin storm. 3. It indirectly causes damage to organs by means of blood clots. 4. It indirectly causes damage as a result of low oxygen levels, improper ventilator settings, drug treatments themselves, and/or all of these things combined. Symptoms are loss of smell, heaviness, malaise, tight chest, racing heart, muggy head, upset stomach, tinnitus, pins and needles, breathlessness, dizziness, arthritis in the hands and feeling like having broken glass in the lungs. One out of twenty patients with Covid-19 experience long-term, off-on symptoms. Many do not develop fever and cough. Instead they get muscle aches, sore throat and headaches. A pattern of waxing and waning. It’s a multi-symptomatic disease which can affect any organ. It causes microvascular problems and clots. To repeat: Lungs, brain, skin, kidneys and the nervous symptom may be affected. Neurological symptoms can be mild (headache) or severe (confusion, delirium, coma). I live in Europe where things are opening up in my country. I saw the bars full coming home this evening. My feeling is that I think we ought to play it safe and to respect social distancing with a virus this destructive to human life.
