I'm not sure my post was clear..It is a speculation..
What our concept of how a disease works and what the real pathophysiology is are sometimes very different...Take the example of Ambrose Pare' a French "Barber Surgeon" in the 16th century...
Pare' performed 19 amputations after the 1537 siege of Turin...And after the last one he was informed that they were out of boiling oil...The SOC at that time was to treat amputation by immersing them in boiling oil...The reason was not as some surgeons of today think, to prevent bleeding...You can not staunch bleeding from the Femoral Artery by cauterising..Surgeons then had to tie off the artery with ligature as they would today...
The reason for the boiling oil in those days was the widespread opinion that gun powder was poisonous and caused tetnus...
Pare went to bed that night with a heavy heart convinced all would be dead by the morning....When he awoke and went to see the patients he was amazed to find they were doing very well and did not have the 105 degree temperatures which were usually the case after treating with boiling oil..
My point in the earlier post was we have the disease (the virus) and we have the body's response to the disease...Which is an assault from the inflammatory system...The inflammatory system in and of its own can be just as bad as any disease because it is a killer...And is capable of attacking the host..and killing the host.. The specifics in this process certainly raise that possibility..In the case of this virus...
