Description
COVID-19 is far more than just a respiratory illness – it’s a master of deception that quietly infiltrates our body’s defense system. The virus works by suppressing our immune system’s alarm signals and hijacking tiny finger-like projections in the mucus membranes of our airways called microvilli, creating a perfect environment for other diseases to take hold. This stealthy approach allows the virus to replicate extensively before symptoms even appear.
This initial invasion may compromise our immune system, leading to a significant increase in chronic health conditions. Recent studies show alarming rises in respiratory conditions (25%), cardiovascular diseases (15%), tuberculosis (30%), and autoimmune disorders (20%) since the pandemic began. These statistics suggest that COVID-19 isn’t just a standalone illness, but rather acts as a catalyst that opens the door for various other health complications, potentially affecting people’s health for years to come.
