cytokine storm

Medical slang for a severe immune reaction in which the body generates an over production of immune cells and their activating compounds (cytokines) and releases them into the blood too rapidly. A cytokine storm is on the opposite end of the spectrum from an under active response by the immune system.

Treatments during a COVID-19 pandemic may be very different depending on one's body's response, especially since some of the most vulnerable over respond with a cytokine storm or under respond because of a hypo immune disorder. So before taking fish tank cleaner you need to be able to get a professional to tell the difference between a cytokine storm and a hypo immune disorder, and get your medicine prescription from a read medical doctor and pharmacy vs politician-pet store.

A cytokine storm is typically activated by an infection, dysfunctional autoimmune conditions, and/or disease. Symptoms include severe fever, nausea, headache, inflammation (eg rash - redness/swelling), rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, trouble breathing , and fatigue. In a mild cytokine storm the response may be temporary but a severe storm may cause multiple organ failure.

A severe cytokine storm is also know as hypercytokinemia.
The problem of a cytokine storm is compounded such as the response to the flu when lung inflammation caused by the rapid response of the immune system and fluid buildup lead to respiratory distress, especially when contaminated by a secondary bacterial such as pneumonia.

snowy of the storm

A snowy is someone who is always there for you, and will be super nice to you. a snowy of the storm, however, is someone who has seen and been through a lot wit you, but still holds on. If you've been pushing down a snowy, they will either reject you because you are a bad friend, or they will turn into a snowy of the storm, who will try to make you happy, although they are suffering. Another way to find a snowy of the storm is to find someone who has been verbally of physically abused in their life. They will generally try to be nice, although they may be silent due to abuse from speaking up. Be nice to snowies of the storm, as they have usually been through a lot.
Person 1: Aww. What happened to snowy?
Person 2: Person BAD called her a poopy head.
Person 1: Oh no....... She is now a snowy of the storm.......
Person 2: Don't worry! She'll still be an awesome person because snowies are strong and they never stop.

Electrical Storm

Basically your normal thunderstorm but on crack. These are the kind of thunderstorms that create A LOT of lightning due to more negitive, and positive charges in the air. The thunder in these storms are also very loud, so loud it will scare the shit out of you every time it thunders. If a Lightning bolt were to hit your house, anything not plugged into a surge protector would be fucked.
