     Evaluation Summary:

     The identification of a novel role of the spike protein expressed on SARS-CoV-2 in directly evoking the host inflammatory responses has a substantial impact in understanding the molecular mechanism of COVID-19 pathogenesis, which may have implication for development of new therapeutics. The elegant analytic approach conducted herein justifies the major conclusions of this work though several additional steps can be made to validate these claims.
