Abstract

Coronaviruses are a broad family of RNA viruses that cause sickness in animals and humans. While defending against viruses, immune system kills and damages its own respiratory cells leading to severe complications, accumulation of lymph and mucus in lungs and shortness of breath. Patients with weaker immune response and milder symptoms have better chances. The question is why SARS-CoV-2 is lethal for elderly people and patients with long-term chronic diseases.
