Andrew Gaiziunas posted this article speculating that the Wuhan Coronavirus removes iron from red blood cells [archive.is] which leads to both oxygen deprivation in tissues and the lung damage that is seen in patients. If confirmed, this knowledge could lead to the development of better treatments in both early and late stages of the disease. Gaiziunas is not a doctor, but he claims [twitter.com] that his father is one and helped work on the article. Medium deleted the article and his account has been suspended [medium.com].
