One of a series of images distributed via a self-promotional marketing program to prospective clients to promote the artist’s creativity, artistry and storytelling depicting the viral budding of coronovirus from lung epithelial cells. Budding enables viruses to exit the host cell after infection and replication, by maturing and budding at the plasma membrane. This can initiate a cytokine storm, a sudden over-response of the body’s immune system all at once from an immune system gone awry producing an inflammatory response flaring out of control.
