The immediate questions that come to my mind..
Does this leave permanent lung damage, or is the recovery prognosis complete over time?
If there is complete recovery with no permanent damage, how long is that process?
If the full pulmonary recovery process is over a long period, what happens when they catch next years strain?
If this leaves permanent lung damage, how bad is the damage, what limitations will it impose upon the patient, and what long term effects we’ll be seen? Does it lead to emphysema, or COPD, or other medical complications?
If it is permanent with life long scaring with pulmonary disability, what happens when they catch year’s, or the year after strain? We’re told there high risk groups now. Would those who recovered then be in the high risk group?
obvious questions I am not even seeing discussed publicly.
the answers likely are somewhere in the ‘not ideal’ range at best.
i have posters on reddit chide me for asking or making speculative questions when I point this general issue up. this years damaged survivors increase the death pool next wave.
