when the virus enters the body through ACE2 receptors in the nose, (The 
receptors, which the virus <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/meet-ace2-the-enzyme-at-the-center-of-the-covid-19-mystery/" class="gmail-av gmail-jx gmail-jy gmail-jz gmail-ka gmail-kb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">is known to target</a>,
 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></div><div><i><br></i></div><div>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. :-)</div><div><br></div><div>-Dave</div></div>
