Supercomputer analyzes covid-19 and reveals a new theory

Covid-19 played a big part in many photographers lives this year.  Hopefully a vaccine or at the very least a treatment will lessen covid-19's impact this fall and winter.  In the meantime, a story was published this week on how a supercomputer, the second most powerful in the world, went to task analyzing covid-19.  

Its findings were in one researchers words, "a eureka moment".  The finding reveal a new theory on how covid-19 impacts the body.  A fascinating and hugely informative read.  It also reinforced in me the importance of wearing a mask and keeping physical distancing.  Especially if you are in certain vulnerable groups or susceptible to getting covid-19.  Although I had read that those with hypertension or high blood pressure should be more careful, I did not understand why until now.  

The article also explains the reason why women may be more resistant to covid-19 than men.
