Cytokine Storm?

•A cytokine storm is an overproduction of immune cells and their activating compounds (cytokines).
•In a flu infection, it is often associated with a surge of activated immune cells into the lungs.
•The resulting lung inflammation and fluid buildup can lead to respiratory distress and can be contaminated by a secondary bacterial pneumonia — often enhancing the mortality in patients.
•Of all the possible compounding effects of COVID-19,  the cytokine storm is one of the most feared.
