Is COVID-19 a vascular virus?

A study at the University of San Diego claims to have proof that COVID-19 is not a respiratory illness, but a vascular one.

This could explain blood clots in some COVID patients and other issues like "COVID feet", which are not classic symptoms of a respiratory illness.

The study,  published in the journal Circulation Research , shows with precision how virus damages the cells of the vascular system.

It was already known that besides the various symptoms of COVID-19 that coincide with respiratory problems, there are other cardiovascular issues that affect other parts of the body.
