The Unexpected capacity of Human Body to dissociate the water molecule, like chlorophyll in plants, and dissolved oxygen levels in drinking water. Implications in the study and treatment of COVID 19 patients.

Abstract

One of the earliest symptoms in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 virus is decreased blood oxygen levels. This silent hypoxemia or happy hypoxia is one of several mysteries of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is amazing that patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) present oxygen blood levels incompatible with life and even without dyspnea which is defying basic biology. The explanation for silent hypoxemia is complex and is usually avoided in medical journals. The purpose of this work is to draw attention to the importance of dissolved oxygen levels in drinking water supplied to the population and their relationship to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
