In a paper published in Nature, Michel Nussenzweig and his colleagues dissected the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (Robbiani et al., 2020) . The sustained activation of certain patterns of chemokines and cytokines was correlated with severe illness-a phenomenon that Iwasaki has termed ''immunological misfiring.'' A more recent paper, published in Cell, also implicated dysfunctions in innate immune cells, particularly myeloid cells such as neutrophils and monocytes, in patients with severe COVID infection (Schulte-Schrepping et al., 2020) .
