Wish they put a bit more detail since getting high infection rates of human bronchial epithelial cells isnt guaranteed (this wouldnt necessarily be in patient cells as mentioned). Even a few percent of infected cells can make lots of virus though! But cool image for sure

I think it’s a great visual for trying to provide context of what this infection looks like. TEMs are nice but the 3D perspective of SEMs provides are awesome here

The virions are the tube like structures?

Those are actually the cilia on the cells. SARS-CoV-2 is the round structures that you see in the right hand image quite prominently
