COVID-19 is a systemic inflammatory disease which happens to be transmitted by the respiratory system. In the end, nearly every organ in your body, from your skin and blood vessels to your heart, lungs, and brain, are all impacted by the massive inflammatory response often known as 'cytokine storm' - it's more akin to sepsis than it is to a classic respiratory disease.
