The excellent channel Kurzgesagt made a new animation video after a week of work, which gives us in simple words an explanation of disease COVID-19 and what exactly causes it coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the human body.
ΑThe video is in English, however, and with the help of graphs and animations, it is easy to understand the seriousness of the situation and the instructions it offers.
The real problem it causes is that of activating the immune system. The latter is intended to protect humans, however, it can be very dangerous.
As immune cells rush to the lungs to fight the coronavirus, the latter also infects some of them, confusing the immune system.
Cells communicate with each other through proteins called cytokines and almost any immune system reaction is controlled by them. The coronavirus that infects these cells essentially confuses the immune system, forcing it to send even more "soldiers" into battle, depleting its resources and causing damage.
Note that the channel encourages viewers to read the scientific sources they use from https://sites.google.com/view/sourcescorona
