NIH report details how severe forms of COVID-19 cause lung failure and death

LOS ANGELES - A recent report from the National Institutes of Health published on May 11 details how severe COVID-19 is unlike most respiratory illnesses and why it can cause lung failure and death. The report cites two NIH-funded studies that were both published in the scientific journal Nature. The NIH says these studies provide some of the most detailed analyses of COVID-19 on the human body. Researchers explained how SARS-CoV-2, the disease that causes COVID-19 "unleashes a devastating series of host events in the lungs prior to death." These "events" include irreparable tissue damage and severe inflammation. In both studies, scientists analyzed tissue samples gathered from COVID-19 patients shortly after their deaths.

Why Covid-19 crisis has failed to trigger deep stock market selloff in India?

India’s Covid-19 crisis has so far failed to spark a deep stock selloff like that seen last year, and some asset managers point to less stringent curbs on activity as one factor at least for now.Even as the nation reports more than 300,000 confirmed infections and over 4,000 deaths a day, India’s benchmark equity index has been moving in line with regional peers. The S&P BSE Sensex index has declined 6.6% from a mid-February peak, about as much as the MSCI AC Asia Pacific index.
