→ RNA will cause the virus mutations (either useless or harmful)

→ As you breath, it will travel into your body all the way into your lungs

→ Because of your immune system is weakened, the virus will cause your bronchioles and alveoli become inflamed

→ Your alveoli will fill with fluid, which cause you having difficulties on breathing
