Multi‐Organ Spread and Intra‐Host Diversity of SARS‐CoV‐2 Support Viral Persistence, Adaptation, and a Mechanism That Increases Evolvability
Autopsies of 15 COVID-19 cases showed SARS-CoV-2 in multiple organs (lungs, heart, liver, etc.) even in non-immunocompromised individuals.
The virus mutated differently in each organ, supporting theories of viral reservoirs and rapid evolution.
