A Dutch study, but it shows that not all CV symptoms are terminal.

What? A whole excerpt and they didn’t blame Trump?

Thousands of Dutch COVID-19 patients likely have permanent lung damage, doctor says

I wonder if this study excluded those who are regular pot smokers, or even smokers in general?

Destructive alveolar disease is the relatively new medical term to describe the probably permanent lung damage that is the residual of this terrible disease. Survivors have scarred lungs and diminished pulmonary capacity. Long term studies will demonstrate how vulnerable they may or may not be to further infections, decline and whether their mortality rate will increase compared to age controlled non infected persons. You simply don’t want to get this disease even if you are young and likely to recover. Hopefully there will soon be an effective vaccine.

the pulmonary scaring are signs not symptoms.

this Atrocity by Wuhan, Xi, Gates, Soros, FauXi and
the C-Dookhan-C is serious, and we know only
3 months info on a disease which is now in the
human DNA forever. Didn’t have to be there, did it?

I was reading about this potential for lung damage back in February. This isn’t a revelation. It’s just starting to become more measurable. The question is, how prevalent is it. The mechanism for this has been known, as well as the separate but related process of the cytokine storm, which is usually results in the catastrophic decline in pulmonary function.

If it wasn’t for the possibility of permanent lung damage, I probably would scoff at covid19 and would have contracted it by now. I believe strongly that I am more than healthy enough to survive it. The big wildcard is how much lasting damage it does. It’s not the common cold

Nattokinase, lumbrokinase, and serrapeptase supplements might be able to help some with addressing scarring aspects.

“... patients LIKELY have ling damage”

LIKELY. MAY. These fear reports throw in a lot of wiggle room and weasel words.

I guess no illness pre-WuFlu EVER impacted lungs permanently. Hubby and I picked up a bad case of pneumonia at church (we believe) in 2014. Since then, our lungs have been weak. Lung damage in 2014 - no big deal. Lung damage in early 2020 - fashionable and a political weapon.

The disease is not always pleasant even for the 99% who do not croak.

I’ve had “Just the Flu, Bro”, but never lung damage from it. Perhaps this “Just the Flu, Bro” is a bit different?

“May be,” “likely,” etc.

This is very real, but it isn’t actually “news” to the medical community.

They’ve known it since... 2003. That’s not a typo.

It was the same with SARS, a coronavirus.

Those who are the most advanced cases, go on a ventilator and have “ARDS” (acute respiratory distress syndrome). Many come off the ventilator and are released from the hospital, but their lungs don’t fully recover. They get some of it back over time, but not all. So it limits how much they can do, energy levels, quality of life.

But it’s not everyone who gets coronavirus, it’s only the most advanced cases.
