This.
I have lung damage from sloppy drywall mudding without a mask and overusing an orbital sander. It was my first time doing a large-scale drywall project, like 15 years ago.
Let me tell you, it sucks. I have borderline asthma now. When it gets bad the wheezing sounds like an accordion in my throat and keeps me up half the night. On bad days I can taste the lung damage. When I do physical exercise I hack like a dying smoker.
This is mild lung damage. And it does not heal fully - it's a "rest of my life" thing. As I understand it, this is what many Covid survivors have to look forwards to.
