A Lung doctor here in the Valley is giving us a new look at some of the coronavirus's long-term effects.

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- A Lung doctor here in the Valley is giving us a new look at some of the coronavirus's long-term effects.

"Some people don't get sick, but some people get sick like me, and some people have really bad long hauler effects of it," said critical care nurse Jayne Most.

Ardiles shared a photo of a smoker's lung, a normal lung, and a COVID-19 lung with Arizona's Family.

You see, there's a breathing tube there, and it's impossible to keep this person alive," said Ardiles.

He said there's not enough research to know if the scarring will heal, but the potential long-term impacts are another reason people should take warnings about Covid seriously.
