The lung-cell type that’s most susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is not the one previously assumed to be most vulnerable. What’s more, the virus enters this susceptible cell via an unexpected route. The medical consequences may be significant.
Stanford Medicine investigators have implicated a type of immune cell known as an interstitial macrophage in the critical transition from a merely bothersome COVID-19 case to a potentially deadly one. Interstitial macrophages are situated deep in the lungs, ordinarily protecting that precious organby, among other things, engorging viruses, bacteria, fungi and dust particles that make their way down our airways. But it’s these very cells, the researchers have shown in a study published online April 10 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, that of all known types of cells composing lung tissue are most susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2.
SARS-CoV-2-infected interstitial macrophages, the scientists have learned, morph into virus producers and squirt out inflammatory and scar-tissue-inducing chemical signals, potentially paving the road to pneumonia and damaging the lungs to the point where the virus, along with those potent secreted substances, can break out of the lungs and wreak havoc throughout the body.

my city currently looks like it should be the setting for some post-apocalyptic movie. air quality here in jersey is plummeting so stay safe everyone in canada, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, and any other north eastern state that might be getting hit right now
everyone should really be staying inside right now and keeping an eye on the air quality but i would also like to emphasize this sentiment if you have any kind of asthma, lung problems, or heart problems: STAY INSIDE! the air quality is NOT SAFE! going outside while the air quality is deemed ‘unhealthy’ is DANGEROUS!
as someone who’s been having lung problems ever since catching covid, i can tell you that my chest feels heavy and i’m coughing and it’s scary so please stay inside and take care of yourselves

So I finished writing my first ever Halo series fic and I’m working on chapter 10 of CITB and then the two prompt requests a couple people sent in.
The plan was to release them all tomorrow. However, I’m being admitted again to the hospital so it might be Saturday. As long as someone brings my laptop to the hospital.
And it’s okay. I need to do this or I’ll go crazy lying here focusing on my shitty breathing and the fact nothing is working.
