SARS-CoV-2: A Storm is Raging: Our Preview/Perspective for Chen on JCI: by day 8 after infection, it's cytokine storm and CD4/CD8 decrease that causes respiratory failure, not viral load. Agree w/ Stanley Perlman & @VirusesImmunity

This is the first peer-reviewed study characterizing cytokine profiles, CD4 count and T cell function in SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals. Cytokine storm correlates with disease severity.
Thanks to @jclinicalinvest @soupvector for this opportunity to contribute our thoughts, put together by our oustanding premed Savannah Pedersen.
@FilippoVeglia81 @VirusesImmunity We don't know about how asymptomatic patients respond to SARS-CoV-2 yet. Immunologic study on immunologic responses of asymptomatic patients responded is urgently needed to direct human response to protective immunity.
