Quotes David Putrino and Betsy Keller at length.
"When viruses invade our cells, they hijack mitochondria and leach some of the energy which is being generated for our benefit and use it to help them replicate and pump more virus through the body. "Now you have a cell that is working way over capacity to produce energy for both viral replication as well as the general functions it needs to perform," says Putrino.
I read years ago on this forum of a French researcher who talked about cells going into cellular defense mode, and surrounding themselves with mitochondria for protection. Can both be going on or is one hypothesis more current than the other?
