Over a month ago, when cases in the US were still low in number, I recall reading an article which highlighted that in China 90% of people who recovered from Coronavirus made complete recoveries from the infection and went on to have no long term damage to their lungs. However, 10% of people who recovered went on to face some irreversible lung damage and in some cases, primarily for those who were smokers, were discovered to have had very severe damage.
To the doctors on this board, is this still considered true? As a young person what types of lung conditions are we at risk of carrying over from this debacle? Is this something that could cause a whole generation life long health problems?
Thank you for any and all responses to this post! I And a big thank you to the doctors, nurses, health technicians, and all other medical professionals battling this out in our ER rooms, ICUs, and clinics! You are all brave men and women, and I, and the rest of us, can't thank you enough for all you do!
