No need. It is already being discussed. But I appreciate your condescending

It may be so, but who knows? I'm no more a medical expert than you are.

Not peer reviewed and the article isnt perfect by any means.

There is certainly holes in the theory and need for further research.

Is there a theory on why there's a 2:1 male/female infection rate?

I don't see a single article on PubMed about hemolytic anemia

Agree SARS-CoV2 doesn't cause hemolysis directly, though multi-organ failure with DIC will. Likely mechanism of action

The hypothesis isn't that it causes hemolysis. They believe that the virus binds

Speaking solely on the scientific method in general (and not on this study in particular), it is not bad science at all

Bad science that still might elucidate useful information and findings.

If this is true, does this mean that monitoring SPO2 levels with a pulse oximeter can be helpful
