Wu lung patients with lungs “foggy” U.S. doctors: worse than smokers lungs

The Texas trauma surgeon tweeted that the lungs of patients with Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) are worse than the lungs of old smokers, with all the foggy white shadows in the X-ray photos, and she said the damage caused by the Wuhan virus is suspected to be permanent.

Comprehensive foreign media reports, the United States Texas doctor Kendall (Bankhead Kendall) recently tweeted mentioned, “I do not know who needs this information, but after infection with Wuhan pneumonia, the patient’s lungs are worse than any smoker we have seen.”

She then gave an interview to the media, providing 3 sets of X lung photos to make comparisons, including the general population, smokers, and patients infected with the disease. It was clear that the average person’s lung x-rays were quite clear, with no white spots or fibrosis, while the smoker’s x-rays were slightly scarred and slightly foggy in clear black and white.

However, the radiographs of Wuhan pneumonia patients were full of dense scars and showed a foggy appearance.

Kandar said that the lung damage caused by shortness of breath after contracting the disease will always occur, and it is still uncertain whether the effects of the virus on the body will heal or bring permanent scars, and also called on the American people to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
