Abrupt Deterioration of COVID-19 Patients and Spreading of SARS COV-2 Virions in the Lungs.

Our calculation shows that this abrupt deteriorate may be caused by a sudden shift in the spread of virus-laden bioaerosols through the airways to many different regions of the lungs from the initial site of infection.
