> we learned that covid may cause permament damages on patients It stands to reason that a disease that outright kills 0.1-1% of the people infected also gets a fraction of people near death, which means it damages them hard enough that they almost die. This effect is entirely consistent with other diseases, for example non-covid19 pneumonia. As of now we have not learned: * What fraction of people develop long term effects. * By age group. * How do these effects compare with long term effects of other diseases, like influenza or influenza-triggered pneumonia. * Do these effects heal over a period of time, say a few months?
