CV Central - 3/30/2020 - "Immune Overreaction, Months not Weeks, and Detroit"

We begin our eighth week of coronavirus coverage with Episode 41 as we look to answer questions.  Exploring the confused immune response and cytokine storm effects may explain why certain people get more ill including critically so, offering new avenues for medical intervention.  We discuss the high mortality rate and the problems of ventilators.  Countries around the globe push back the timeframe as we see an unusually high unattributed number of dead people emerge from Wuhan questioning those numbers one urn at a time.  Italy sees the curve flatten but the pressure continue as some looting happens in Sicily.  New York has food banks under pressure as new hospitals arise.  But what is happening in NYC is spreading throughout America as we look at both small towns and a Midwestern city in Detroit to show just how fast Covid takes root once in a given area.
