That's your immune system overeating to the virus in your lungs.

I read that this is why older people are doing much worse with this virus. Usually your immunities help fight off something. With this virus, the opposite is happening. The older you are, the more immunities you have built up over the years. They overreact and cause incredible lung damage.
