Why does it take so long for the covid-19 virus to produce symptoms? if it takes that long, why does it get so bad after all that time?

Cytokine Storm?: Symptoms are likely to increase as the viral load in your body increases. Some may take a sudden turn for the worse due to a cytokine storm. This is an immune response where the body is attacking itself instead of most attacking the virus.
