I have to call just a slight amount of BS on this. The Lady doctor referenced decades of evidence of children spreading every other "respiratory virus". There have been more and more studies showing this is not respiratory but rather it is vascular. Thus the reason kids are not impacted and adults are which as I understand it is the complete opposite of typical respiratory infections.
And given the top underlying causes it does seem to be that this is a vascular disease. High blood pressure. Heart disease. Obesity. Diabetes. These are all vascular issues.
Is COVID-19 a vascular or respiratory disease?

Several recent studies have found that this coronavirus infects and damages endothelial cells that line the inside of all blood vessels. These protective cells influence everything from blood clotting to immune response, and the receptor that this virus uses to break into and infect cells is found in virtually every cell in the body, especially endothelial cells.
Damaged endothelial cells set off runaway inflammation, and promote blood clot formation. That can explain the odd mix of diseases from heart attacks, strokes, to lung damage, and even COVID toes. It could also account for the high mortality in people with pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, all diseases known to impact endothelial cells.
