Not a medical scientist at all, but I would assume any virus that is primarily respiratory to affect your lung function. I would bet the influenza does similar things. I don't know many people that return to their prior physiological s

The fallacy I can't help but point out here is that thinking because of our science we are better off and have somehow been "enlightened" when all evidence points to the contrary, at least not to the things that truly matter:
