where did you go to medical school? you are wrong on so many fronts Corona is an upper respiratory infection that can cause viral pneumonia in some people.

That's wrong.

"Lungs are the organs most affected by COVID-19 because the virus accesses host cells via the enzyme ACE2, which is most abundant in the type II alveolar cells of the lungs. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019

"Once inside the body, it begins infecting epithelial cells in the lining of the lung. A protein on the receptors of the virus can attach to a host cell's receptors and penetrate the cell. Inside the host cell, the virus begins to replicate until it kills the cell. "
