What we must focus on is that COVID19 attacks RBCs. Patients have frequently been found COVID-19, SARS2 is not 'pneumonia' nor ARDS Through the current experience across the world, invasive ventilation is becoming the last resort, as emergency intubation from the Chinese, Italian and American experience evidences higher mortality, not to mention complications from tracheal scarring and stiff lung during the duration of intubation. The lung damage seen on CT scans is due to the oxidative stress released from the hemolysed red blood cells, which in turn overwhelm the natural defenses against pulmonary oxidative stress and cause a cytokine storm.	./cache/cord-270740-3su8pc3f.txt	./txt/cord-270740-3su8pc3f.txt
