Are you aware if there is any data yet on what proportion of recoveries will experience lasting lung/other damage? For example, is the permanent lung damage seen so far (which I've only anecdotally read about, I must admit) mostly related to ARDS?

(IANAD) I don't think it is possible to derive any reliable facts from the data right now. Even if the patients who recovered from COVID-19 still find that there is something wrong with them, that could still go away in a week or a month or a year. However, here is a tiny bit of information on the long-term effects of the 2003 SARS outbreak: https://www.lung.org/lung-health-and-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-sars/ https://www.lung.org/lung-health-and-diseases/lung-disease-l... > A small percentage of patients had long-term effects from their illness, including depression or anxiety, cough, shortness of breath, chronic lung disease or kidney disease. However, most patients fully recovered.

  Yes, I think you may be right. I did find this, on the long-term effects of ARDS, and the effects are frankly a bit scary. Whether you survive or not, ARDS is clearly something to be avoided. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5757654/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5757654/
