Lungs damaged by Coronavirus can repair themselves in three months
- just-juan-post 6y agoFor those who didn't see it they discovered something similar in 40 year smokers. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51279355 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51279355 > In people who quit, up to 40% of their cells looked just like those from people who had never smoked.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoBut after 3 months?? I think not :P I know lungs have amazing recovery capacity but removing 40 years' worth of tar takes a lot of time. I know after 10 years or so they're clean (depending on the age of the person of course) Great though to hear it goes quickly for Corona. A bit of good news is welcome for once.

- nikolay 6y agoThere's a pretty high chance of permanent myocardial damage - lungs typically heal to certain extent from such damage, but the heart is a different story!
