Detailed explanation-1: -COVID-19 and influenza are both respiratory diseases. Some may have no symptoms, mild symptoms or severe disease. Both influenza and COVID-19 can be fatal.
Detailed explanation-2: -People with respiratory failure caused by COVID-19 could deteriorate to requiring invasive mechanical ventilation or death (2). In theory, COVID-19 associated respiratory failure belongs to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to the Berlin definition (3).
Detailed explanation-3: -In patients with critical COVID-19, severe hypoxaemia related to ARDS is the leading cause of acute respiratory failure. The most common pathophysiologic mechanism for hypoxaemic respiratory failure is ventilation/perfusion and, in its extreme, pulmonary shunt.
