Sounds like a pretty broad statement to make for such a low number.
The only data point I have - a 21 year old runner friend of mine was hit with COVID pretty hard at the start of the pandemic and to this day can't run anymore. Breathing problems. Constantly out of breath.
Not saying this is typical but it's a pretty devastating result to just be dismissed by the conclusion of this study.
- tinus_hn 5y agoThe study excludes the minority of young people who get severe breathing problems in the acute phase of the disease so your friend would not be included. The result just shows that the large majority that does not get severe breathing problems in the acute phase (in fact most young people do not get any symptoms at all) does not get long term lung damage.
- nojokes 5y agoDid somebody even expect that people who did not have lung function affected would develop a long term lung issues?
