One of the triggering condition for a fusion of Coronovirus (COVID-19) with a human cell is an acidified environment on the surface of the cell. In other words, the virus needs a low pH environment and thrives in it. Once the patient starts experiencing some coughing and minor trouble with breathing, the lungs begin to lose the capacity to eliminate CO2 from the blood stream. Once this happens the virus can spiral very quickly out of control. How does the inability to remove CO2 from the blood stream favor the virus? And why would in speed up the rate the of the infection
Back to basics: Remember that the body’s acid-base balance depends on delicately balanced
