In this brief summary, I would like to induce the reader's reflection to the fact that coronavirus appears already before the pandemic in many texts of medical doctrine and that the pathological findings related to lung and multi-organ damage are described similar to those induced by other viral pathogens both from the same or different family. The autopsy pathologists can confirm that many deaths are due to complications from viral infections especially in subjects with comorbidities and they can also confirm that the aspects often observed are diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), cardiac damage from myocarditis or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or even disseminated intra-vascular coagulation (DIC); these findings are also present in sepsis associated with various viral infections. ./cache/cord-318492-uu1p1rgi.txt ./txt/cord-318492-uu1p1rgi.txt
