   Disturbing video shows how COVID-19 ravaged the lungs of a   
   patient who had been asymptomatic just days earlier.   
      
   Dr. Keith Mortman, the chief of thoracic surgery at George   
   Washington University Hospital, said the hospital created a 360-   
   degree image of the lungs of a 59-year-old male patient who had   
   been generally healthy except for a history of high blood   
   pressure, CNN reported.   
      
   In the scans, the yellow areas, which highlight the infected and   
   inflamed regions, cover both of the lungs.   
      
   “This is a guy who’s minding his own business and gets it,”   
   Mortman told CNN. “If we were to repeat the [360-degree virtual   
   reality images] now, that is one week later, there is a chance   
   that the infection and inflammatory process could be worse.”   
      
   The patient, who remains in critical condition in the ICU, has   
   required a ventilator on the highest setting to breathe, CNN   
   reported.   
      
   Mortman said it’s not known whether the man will fully recover,   
   since for some patients, the damage has so far been irreversible.   
      
   “I want people to see this and understand what this can do,”   
   Mortman said. “People need to take this seriously.”
