“…In 2021, at the peak of the surge, COVID-19 was the number one cause of death in the United States (US) surpassing heart disease and cancer with an average of more than 3000 deaths per day (2). In fact, COVID-19 has led to the biggest drop in life expectancy in the US in more than seven decades (3). The successful rollout of vaccines has significantly halted mortality from the disease in the US.…”

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Majority of COVID-19 patients have mild disease but about 20% of COVID-19 patients progress to severe disease. These patients end up in the intensive care unit (ICU) with clinical manifestations of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has also been associated with severe COVID-19. Understanding of the immunopathology of COVID-19 is critical for the development of effective therapeutics. In this article, we discuss evidence indicating that severe COVID-19 has clinical presentations consistent with the definitions of viral sepsis. We highlight the role of neutrophils and NETs formation in the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19. Finally, we highlight the potential of therapies inhibiting NETs formation for the treatment of COVID-19.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month announced that it fell 1.5 years in 2020 under the pandemic’s impact—but twice that much for black and Hispanic Americans 2…”
