I get your point, but I think Doreen is actually being reasonable here. Even if you just consider children, the link between covid-19 and Kawasaki Syndrome is well-established (https://www.cdc.gov/kawasaki/about.html https://www.cdc.gov/kawasaki/about.html).
But, it's not like there hasn't been additional coverage on covid-19 as a circulatory disease rather than a respiratory-first one.

A recent covid-19 study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32291094/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32291094/
And this from a post-SARS study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6178621/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6178621/
There's plenty of primary and secondary research out there. The problem, I think, is that mainstream media headlines have been -- and continue to -- present covid-19 as a respiratory virus.
Perhaps like Doreen, my family have been tracking the circulatory effects more closely than most, given we have a toddler with a heart condition and family with diabetes.
- corin_ 6y agoI feel you are missing the point of my comments. I wasn't arguing anything about the disease itself, only about how to approach understanding and talking about it. Additionally... the article submitted that we're all commenting in response to specifically makes the case that this virus is affecting more than the respiratory system. I don't disagree with anything in your comment, but I also don't see how any of your comment disagrees with anything I said or with the original article.
