[QUOTE="type two paul, post: 2232006, member: 520361"] Hi, I don't think it's the cough as such. That's a side affect anyway. [B]According to the article:[/B][I]coronavirus sticks to cells and attacks them by latching onto something called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Some people with high blood pressure or type 1 or type 2 diabetes have to take drugs which increase the amount of ACE2 that they have on their cells, in order to control their illness. [/I] So, I think the fact the medication increases the ACE2 means the virus has more to attach to. Lot's of COULDs in the article though, so I'm sticking to my meds. [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
