The lungs are the organ most commonly affected

 relatively little about what happens after someone recovers. Could there be long-term effects? Let’s look at what we know so far about the effect of COVID-19 on the body – particularly the lungs – and the potential for lasting damage.

The lungs are the organ most commonly affected by COVID-19, with a spectrum of severe effects. One is pneumonia, where inflammation causes the small air sacs that make up the lung to fill with fluid. In COVID-19, pneumonia tends to affect both lungs. If large parts of the lungs are affected, people struggle to absorb enough oxygen and are admitted to hospital.

Another severe effect is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) – also known as “wet lung”. This sees severe inflammation spread quickly throughout the lungs. People who develop this may need mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit, sometimes for a prolonged period.https://www.netimpact.org/chapters/events/watch-american-pie-presents-girls-rules-2020-full-online-free-hd
