Is there a point to your post. The only thing to get is its another reason why you shouldn't want to contract covid. Any sensible person capable of reading probably already knew that.
Holy hit a sensitive spot hey.
That’s exactly the point of the article... I don’t understand what your beef with the whole thing is.
A lot of professional athletes have had covid and are playing now.....Its alarmist as well. They give no indications of how long after covid the xrays or analysis is taken, they have no longitudinal idea how long the scarring lasts, and this;
"When someone recovers from pneumonia, whether it's a bacterial pneumonia or a viral pneumonia, it's going to take some time for their chest X-rays to improve. Chest X-rays lag your clinical improvement. So you may be better, but your chest X-ray still looks bad," he said. "And we know that people with COVID-19 can get severe pneumonia, and some of that pneumonia will lead to damage to the lungs that will take time to heal. And some of it may be permanent."
They haven't even described how covid lungs are any different.
As is so often the case now this is a media spin article based on the comments of one Doctor. Who gives no substantiation of her comments.
I've had pneumonia at least twice in my life, never fun, and yes it does take time to get completely back. Even 6mths later with hard cardio you feel like you're hacking a lung once in awhile, but it does get better.
I suspect this does too, and theres no indication, and nobody knows that it doesn't.
Also "Worst Smokers lungs" have COPD, and have worse trouble breathing always, and which remains. Kind of a silly article.
Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Pleurisy, all bad, but lungs amazingly can heal through time. The article gives no information on how bad Covid scarring is relative to those.
I know, its amazing McDavid can even drag his carcass onto the ice after his bout of the wuflu.A lot of professional athletes have had covid and are playing now.....
Go down to your basement. Stay there. Come back up after 6 weeks. If you hear of anyone that has COVID, go back down for another 6 weeks. Rinse and repeat.beauty quote :

Well you missed my point. The article is just designed to be fear based incentive. Its another in a series of end of the world kind of messages and "People will never be the same" "will have impaired lungs for life" "can't ever breathe" yada yada.
I get it. You read something like that and you take it all as fact as if its quality information. Its some Dr yabbering on about results she doesn't know, because nobody knows. But her assumption is that the results are permanent, irreversible, etc.
its not the article itself, its the constant notion that people are motivated properly by fear. yet those messages are extremely harmful and have motivated even more people to kill themselves, numb themselves with ever more harmful drugs and overdose.
There is a lot of corrolary harm that comes from articles like this, and sensationalism like this, which arguable creates more harm than benefit.
Sorry for getting testy. Like everybody else the pandemic drains on us, all of us.
because most people aren't scared anymoreI agree. Tam really seems to love the fear mongering. "New strain spreading..." "models predict exponential increase" "COVID will be with us forever" "vaccines delayed" "no end in sight." The combination of her and CBC really like to pour on the fear.
Yay, i can finally go get a McDavid tattoo.
No more DIY tattoos

I don’t see anyone in the article saying that COVID is going to for sure cause permanent damage.
"You'll either see a lot of that white, dense scarring or you'll see it throughout the entire lung. Even if you're not feeling problems now, the fact that that's on your chest X-ray — it sure is indicative of you possibly having problems later on," she said
Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease expert and senior scholar at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, told CBSNthat some patients with severe COVID-19 could feel the impact for years to come.
He said the potential long-term health consequences are another reason people should take warnings about the disease seriously.
I don’t get the vibe that this is fear mongering. What was said in the article wasn’t untrue at all honestly.
Remember when Xi said his vaccine was going to be rolled out first and given to everyone in the world free of charge as PRC ‘contribution’ to fighting the pandemic they caused? I think Trudeau was the only one stupid enough to say to himself, ‘hey, that sounds like a great offer I should probably look into’.They seriously went "all in" with Chinese vaccines? Wtf? That is mind boggling. I mean if their PPE was crap, what could go wrong with a mass produced vaccine without the same protocols that the rest of the world has to follow?
