I don't think it's so much "under-reported", more like "ignored", there's an agenda afoot on many fronts to drag this scamdemic out as long as they can, "never let a good catastrophe go to waste".... this should have been treated just like any other flu season but with just sterner warnings that no treatment, no vaccine, no miracle cures, that the old/weakened immune/hypochondriacs stay home, let the rest work/travel and build an immunity... and if you live, you live... the rest Soylent Green crackers.....

"Our findings suggest that while antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 may fade relatively quickly, long-term immunity to the virus may be generated in the form of memory responses, including that of memory T cells," says Roan. "To confer lasting and effective immunity against COVID-19, vaccination strategies should strongly consider approaches that, in addition to generating neutralizing antibodies, elicit long-lived and multi-functional T cells against SARS-CoV-2."

Stanford U take on why Covid-19 goes to severe in some patients

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-08-reveals-immune-system-paralysis-severe-covid-.html

Sample quote

That difference may stem from how our evolutionarily ancient innate immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease. Found in all creatures from fruit flies to humans, the innate immune system rapidly senses viruses and other pathogens. As soon as it does, it launches an immediate though somewhat indiscriminate attack on them and mobilizes more precisely targeted, but slower-to-get-moving, "sharpshooter" cells belonging to a different branch of the body's pathogen-defense forces, the adaptive immune system.
...snip...
The scientists also found elevated levels of bacterial debris, such as bacterial DNA and cell-wall materials, in the blood of those COVID-19 patients with severe cases. The more debris, the sicker the patient—and the more pro-inflammatory substances circulating in his or her blood.

The findings suggest that in cases of severe COVID-19, bacterial products ordinarily present only in places such as the gut, lungs and throat may make their way into the bloodstream, kick-starting enhanced inflammation that is conveyed to all points via the circulatory system.

But the study also revealed that, paradoxically, key cells of the innate immune system in the blood of COVID-19 patients became increasingly paralyzed as the disease got worse. Instead of being aroused by the presence of viruses or bacteria, these normally vigilant cells remained functionally sluggish.

Blood pressure drugs in ACEi or ARB class
lower risk of death from Covid-19 by about one third according to UK study

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-08-blood-pressure-medication-covid-survival.html

Sample quote

"But the really important thing that we showed was that there is no evidence that these medications might increase the severity of COVID-19 or risk of death.

"On the contrary, we found that there was a significantly lower risk of death and critical outcomes, so they might in fact have a protective role—particularly in patients with hypertension.

"COVID-19 patients with high blood pressure who were taking ACEi/ARB medications were 0.67 times less likely to have a critical or fatal outcome than those not taking these medications.

British U of Manchester take on what causes severe Covid-19

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-08-inflammation-key-factor-vulnerability-severe.html

Sample quote

The virus that causes COVID, SARS-CoV-2, needs a target to latch onto in order to invade our cells. Its choice is a protein on the cell surface called ACE2. Glucose increases the levels of ACE2 present on macrophages and monocytes, helping the virus infect the very cells that should be helping to kill it.

Once the virus is safely inside these immune cells, it causes them to start making lots of inflammatory cytokines—effectively kick-starting the cytokine storm. And the higher the levels of glucose, the more successful the virus is at replicating inside the cells—essentially the glucose fuels the virus.

First undisputed case of getting Covid-19 a second time documented by genetic test differences

Sample quote

A 33-year-old man in Hong Kong may represent the first confirmed case of reinfection, researchers in Hong Kong said.

The man was diagnosed with COVID-19 on March 26, hospitalized, then recovered. He tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 again on August 15, and whole genome sequencing of viral isolates from the two episodes indicated they were from different clades,
...snip
That is almost unassailable evidence that the man was infected a second time, and another indication, albeit far from definitive, that immunity to SARS-CoV-2 may not last very long.

Interestingly, the patient was asymptomatic during his second infection, the authors said.

Reinfection was suspected in a few previous cases of COVID-19, but never documented.

Researchers at North Bristol NHS Trust found that 81 out of 110 discharged patients were still experiencing symptoms such as breathlessness, excessive fatigue and muscle aches when invited back to clinic.

Many were also suffering from poor quality of life compared to the rest of the population, struggling to carry out daily tasks such as washing, dressing, or going back to work.

Most of the patients did, however, report improvements in their initial symptoms of fever, cough and loss of sense of smell.
Reassuringly, the majority of patients had no evidence of lung scarring or reductions in lung function.
