I think you have misread the article. It says that less than 10% will even have intermediate-term damage. There is no evidence that any significant numbers of people will have long-term, let alone permanent, damage.
Even if 10 % of patients end up with permanently reduced lung function it's a lot because the disease is so infectious, given the right conditions, and it isn't going anywhere soon, at least not this winter.
