You can download lots of COVID-19 patient data sets from [TCIA](https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=80969742).

MultiVolumeExplorer is for browsing 4D data sets, not for comparing 3D volumes. You can use basic Slicer GUI to view/compare chest CTs - see [documentation](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/getting_started.html#view-data) and [tutorials](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training).

You may find the [LungCTAnalyzer extension](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-lungctanalyzer-extension-for-lung-ct-segmentation-and-analysis-for-covid-19-assessment/15006) useful. For additional analysis and quantification, you may check out the [Chest Imaging Platform](https://chestimagingplatform.org/workstation-slicer-cip).
