Yes, I think you may be right. I did find this, on the long-term effects of ARDS, and the effects are frankly a bit scary. Whether you survive or not, ARDS is clearly something to be avoided.
I don't think it is possible to derive any reliable facts from the data right now. Even if the patients who recovered from COVID-19 still find that there is something wrong with them, that could still go away in a week or a month or a year.
However, here is a tiny bit of information on the long-term effects of the 2003 SARS outbreak:
https://www.lung.org/lung-health-and-diseases/lung-disease-l...
> A small percentage of patients had long-term effects from their illness, including depression or anxiety, cough, shortness of breath, chronic lung disease or kidney disease. However, most patients fully recovered.
