How about this article [1] (translation at reddit [2]) about german divers who had "mild cases" (no hospitalization, recovered at home) and were found to have suffered permanent lung damage, so severe that they can't dive anymore.

My ability to navigate Reddit is embarrassing. Never found the comment with the translation. Saw some of the discussion, though.

Sounds like a promising lead to go down. I think my other criticisms are still unaddressed. Scarring damage is tough to place in age. Is plausible that they had some pre existing damage already.

Funny to see the comments talk if walking pneumonia. I had that a decade ago. Was cake compared to whatever hit me early March.

I think the fact that they used to dive but now can't kind of places most of the damage as recent.

My link should be a direct link to the comment. The bottom of the comment is hidden by default, but half of it is visible (and you can unhide the rest using the big blue button). I hate the new reddit design.

I agree it is a strong signal. That said, I suspect there is a lot more to it.

I confess false confidence in CT scans from stories such as back pains paints me a skeptic here. :(
