Abrupt Deterioration of COVID-19 Patients and Spreading of SARS COV-2 Virions in the Lungs 2020-11-02 .txt text/plain 793 55 59 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. While many mechanisms possibly contribute to spread of the infection, such as lymphatic circulation, we hypothesize that a major driver of the abrupt deterioration several days after the initial infection is 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. This shift of airflow pattern distributes virus-laden bioaersols to other, even distant, parts of the lungs (Figure 1c) . (c) However, as the disease progresses, the production of virus-laden bioaerosols increases, the tissues available for gas exchange become smaller and smaller as the infected lesion becomes larger and larger. ./cache/cord-284974-e7vl774c.txt ./txt/cord-284974-e7vl774c.txt
