Deaths are easy to count, but I'm far more interested in what Covid-19 does to survivors. I find reports of permanent lung damage showing up in scans of people who never even noticed an acute illness far more concerning than any single digit death percentage.

- usrusr 7y agoJust tidbits, nothing worth referring. But too many to for comfort. Systematic studies either don't exist or they get lost in the noise of death-counting. It's particularly hard to find even speculative opinion because the same lung damage keywords that would describe outcomes are also preconditions associated with greatly elevated risk, so there's naturally a lot of charter about that.
- sroussey 7y agoCurious if covid19 will stay in the system like mono or chickenpox. The latter coming back decades later as Shingles. It may take decades to find out.
