[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2234812, member: 196898"] The mechanism you describe is certainly associated with other variants of the virus in the same corona class e/g/ MERS and SARS, but although this may also be applicable to COVID-19 it is not established as being the same pathway. Certainly the use of hypertension medication is something that is common to all the 'at risk groups' so far labelled by the NHS. Cardiovascular Diabetes and Old Age all seem to suffer a need for lowered BP levels. My heart team have just doubled my ramipril dose to the max dose and I am about to do a trawl throgh the dossette boxes to turf the little pills out into the round receptacle by my chair. Edit to add: an up to date response from the cardiologists [URL]https://www.mdmag.com/medical-news/acc-aha-esc-advise-ace-inhibitors-arbs-use-covid19[/URL] And here is a good discussion by doctor on the science of this [MEDIA=youtube]1vZDVbqRhyM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
