In COVID-19, the arterial and general tissue oxygen levels can drop without any initial warning.The chest x-ray may show diffuse pneumonia.Cases of silent hypoxia with COVID-19 have been reported for patients who did not experience shortness of breath or coughing until their oxygen levels had depressed to such a degree that they were at risk of acute respiratory distress (ARDS) and organ failure.
Acute lung injury may cause pulmonary edema directly through injury to the vasculature and parenchyma of the lung, causes include: Inhalation of hot or toxic gases [12] (including vaping-associated lung injury) Pulmonary contusion, i.e., high-energy trauma (e.g. vehicle accidents) Aspiration, e.g., gastric fluid
The transmission of COVID-19 is the passing of coronavirus disease 2019 from person to person.

Two examples are the bacterias Yersinia pestis (which causes plague) and Francisella tularensis (which causes tularaemia), which both can cause severe pneumonia, if transmitted via the airborne route through inhalation. [18] Poor ventilation enhances transmission by allowing aerosols to spread undisturbed in an indoor space. [19]
