I'm really at a loss on this subject because I'm trying to find out answers to two questions that don't have much coverage so far (understandable):
1. The people who "recovered" from this so far, do their CT scans or other tests show alterations to their organs? I've read that survivors of SARS have had permanent damage that later led to issues like cystic fibrosis, and others.
2. Has anyone really become immune to this thing yet? The "UK experiment" is going to be an absolute shitshow if they are walking into this without knowing that it's possible to be immune from it.
I wouldn't put any stock in the wild reports of long-term sequelae. I've heard everything from failure of breathing reflex to male sterility, and none of it's worth the paper it's (not) printed on. None of it makes any sense, and besides, people make shit up at times like this, and what survives is what's most startling. (I mean, who'd even be looking at sperm motility right now?) The truth will out in the end.
Still scary, I know. I'm sorry. I wish I had something more reassuring to say. Hang in there.
Sars survivors showed some reduced lung capacity but overall not significant enough to affect quality of life. Morbidity mainly came from poorly executed steroid therapy carried out in a number of hospitals in an attempt to control respiratory failure, which resulted in more permanent disabilities.
