I was thinking of posting this, as a couple of paragraphs in the story stand out;
Prof Davies, who worked in intensive care during the coronavirus pandemic, said the discovery shows the "way in which the lung responds to the infection is critical".
This is an important step forward, he added, because "most treatments (until now) have focused on changing the way in which the immune system reacts to the virus".
So, yeah, not exactly related. But skirting the edges extremely closely.
