High latency (multiple seconds) can be a problem for carrying on conversations (calls), but even very small latency (fractions of a second) can be the difference between catching a fish and missing it in ACNH (for example).

latency can be a problem, too

doesn’t matter much for calls and music, but timing of gameplay can be harmed with audio lag

As researchers dug into both questions, one thing became clear: The body’s overzealous immune response to the virus – known as severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2, or SARS-CoV-2 – was responsible for most of the damage it wrought, said Dr. DeLisa Fairweather, vice chair of translational research for the department of cardiovascular diseases at the Mayo Clinic’s Florida campus in Jacksonville.

The same mechanisms involved in COVID-related cardiovascular events are responsible for COVID-related myocarditis, said Fairweather, lead author of a 2023 Circulation Research review article on COVID-19 and myocarditis.

“In one case, it’s happening in the blood vessel walls, and in the other, it’s in the heart muscle,” she said. “It’s just in a different location. What’s important is the immune response to the virus.”

SARS-CoV-2 is a large, enveloped RNA virus, meaning it is surrounded by an extra layer of cell membrane that allows it to fuse with healthy cells in our body. It typically enters the body through the eyes, nose or mouth, then targets the lungs. Cells in the lungs and blood vessels contain an abundance of ACE2 receptors, which the virus infiltrates using a spike protein on its outer membrane. These receptors are the virus’s main entryway to host cells. They also play a vital role in cardiovascular function, including regulating inflammation. Once SARS-CoV-2 infiltrates the host cell, it empties its genetic material and begins to replicate.

Fairweather said the real problem is that once inside the host cells, the virus targets mitochondria, small structures inside a cell that produce its energy, and hijacks them to replicate itself.

Maybe both come from a third, earlier source?

I read a study one time about lawyers who were more likely to offer pro bono work than to do a job when paid lower than their going rate.

You should first just ask the developer(s) of the software if they’ll add the feature. They could say yes.
