Furthermore, as IL-1 was shown to be a major culprit in the development of many cardiovascular diseases [11] , its involvement in the Sars-Cov-2 infection could explain the high mortality and morbidity rate among cardiopathic patients. Identifying the mechanisms by which Sars-Cov-2 damages the human body, focusing on the structural proteins, could be a possible strategy to finding an effective solution. From this point of view, Sars-Cov-2 seems to be very similar to malaria: many clinical and scientific reports have shown that Covid-19, not only can be successfully treated with chloroquine but also, like malaria, appears to be diagnosed much more frequently in blood group A patients [14] . ./cache/cord-279940-i2rgjpxf.txt ./txt/cord-279940-i2rgjpxf.txt
