In these images, which were recreated from the university's first coronavirus patient in mid-March, the green areas show where the virus has damaged tissue in the lungs. "The damage that we're seeing is not isolated to any one part of the lung. "This is severe damage to both lungs diffusely." ARDS would stop the oxygen before it gets to the lungs, starting a domino effect for the rest of the body. Speaking on GWHU's coronavirus podcast, Dr Mortman said the damage shown in the images suggests the disease could have long-lasting effects on its most critical victims.
