I would like to see more scientific study on the matter. I suspect it is probably a real, but rare thing, and that the vast majority of suspected cases are largely due to physical inactivity. I myself had my first infection in March 2024 and had "lung capacity" issues for several months afterwards (~November 2024). I saw doctors about it, but they were largely dismissive, stating I needed to do more exercise, when I was in reasonably top physical shape (MMA 4x a week). I felt like I was on my own, took charge, did my own research. What seemed to end up helping and get the "junk" out of my lungs was regularly using a spirometer on my own and, perhaps not wise, doing intense (as best I could muster) runs, which would cause me to cough up some of the awful-tasting fluid. It ended up working out well for me and I'm back to my former capacity.
