>From the article I posted yesterday:

*According to the team’s findings, a Covid-19 infection generally begins
when the virus enters the body through ACE2 receptors in the nose, (The
receptors, which the virus is known to target
<https://www.wired.com/story/meet-ace2-the-enzyme-at-the-center-of-the-covid-19-mystery/>,
are abundant there.) The virus then proceeds through the body, entering
cells in other places where ACE2 is also present: the intestines, kidneys,
and heart. This likely accounts for at least some of the disease’s cardiac
and GI symptoms.*

I'm wondering if that means breathing through one's nose increases the
likelihood and/or severity of covid. Not suggesting this explains the
Sturgis numbers. :-)
