During severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, activated macrophages, dendritic cells (D.C.), neutrophils, and natural killer (N.K.) are the first defense against infection. These immune effectors trap ingest virus, kill infected epithelial cells, or produce anti-viral cytokines. Evidence suggests that aging, obesity, mental illness can lead to weakened innate immunity and, thus, all associated with elevated infection disease progression of 2019 (COVID-19).
