Dr Kamel warned patients with such as degree of damage would most likely need to be hooked up to an oxygen tank.
In worst-case scenarios, Covid patients need to be put on life support as their lungs simply struggle to keep them alive.
Speaking to KSDK News, Dr Kamel said: “With the X-ray looking like that, they’d definitely at least require oxygen and sometimes they would require more than just oxygen.
“They might require the ventilator or get intubated on mechanical ventilation, sedated, and basically on life support.”
Unfortunately, the expert added many of the patients under his care have not been vaccinated against Covid.
COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, which means the coronavirus attacks the lungs.
The elderly and people with underlying health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the virus.
