While it's nice to hear from someone that's recovering well, this blog doesn't give me much solace since it's a form of selection bias. The people that have COVID-19 and are intubated and on a respirator in a hospital likely aren't blogging about it.

Given that 10-15% of people that get it end up in the ICU on a mechanical respirator, and that even those that survive end up with permanent lung damage, I would argue that selection bias at a time like this is almost criminally negligent reporting.

  Where did you get those statistics from? And do you have a reference for that lung damage claim?

      That appears to be a clickbait SEO blog. I couldn't find any primary sources for your claims. Did you have a link?

      I assume that’s your site? Can’t imagine it being posted otherwise.
