from the article...
Zhou said the novel coronavirus can stimulate the body’s immune system, which can further damage the cells.
“A normal immune system protects, but an over-active immune system can not only damage the lungs but also other organs, including the kidneys, liver and heart,” he said. .????

I imagine they will try everything to keep the immune sytem of a person with coronavirus in check.

Why not try prednisone,that will reduce the activity of a persons immune system? - Tom-
