Doctor makes model of coronavirus infected lungs
The model was made from a man in his 50s on a ventilator.

WASHINGTON, DC (WABC) -- Here's a unique look inside the lungs of a patient infected with COVID-19.



A doctor at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC used virtual reality to create this model.



Blue is a healthy lung. Yellow is an infected lung, destroyed by the virus.



This image was made from a CAT scan of a man in his late 50s, who first reported fever and cough and ended up on a ventilator.


The doctor says he hopes this educates the public on the damage the coronavirus can do.
