Microscope images reveal how tiny but deadly coronavirus particles invaded the US patient zero's cells

Stunning microscope images released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)  reveal the new killer coronavirus in unprecedented detail. 

Shown as blue dots, the virus, now dubbed SARS-CoV-19, can be seen roving around and invading human cells, according to the Daily Mail.

The sample is the first of its kind capture using a transmission electron microscope by CDC scientists. 

It was taken from the first coronavirus patient in the US, a 36-year-old man from Snahomish County in Washington state, who recognized his own symptoms of the disease after traveling to Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the outbreak.
