Understanding how COVID-19 infection spreads from the upper airways to the lungs

Whether COVID-19 becomes a life-threatening disease depends, in part, on the virus reaching one's lungs. Scientists suspect the initial infected tissues in the upper airway can act as the source for virus-laden droplets or boluses, that are aspirated into the lungs.
