Do you have a source on the amount of other outcomes for the 0-49 group?

I haven’t come across that data. I’d be curious.

That's what still has me worried about this virus. What percent of people under 49 survive, but don't fully recover?

When this disease started I thought I'd rather just get it and get it over with, but now I'd rather avoid taking a risk I don't have to.

ARDS is limited at this point almost exclusively to those over 75 with critical cases who happen to recover.

I have not seen those numbers but regardless, ARDS is not the only morbidity we need to worry about.

What if, of the 10% of hospitalized cases, half of those patients permanently lose a noticeable portion of their lung function? Not supplemental oxygen dependent but can’t walk as far or exercise the same way they could before. That’s a major life change for a huge number of people, when you extrapolate it out to the entire world.

The threat of minor but permanent disability should not be ignored, especially in those who spent weeks on a vent.
