The vast majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients show lung damage 6 weeks after discharge, but this proportion drops significantly after 12 weeks, suggesting that the lungs have a self-repair mechanism, researchers report.

"We know from other lung studies that lungs have the potential to recover from inflammation," said investigator Sabina Sahanic, MD, a clinical PhD student at University Clinic in Innsbruck, Austria. "Specialists knew we'd have to wait some weeks to clarify this and estimate how good the resolution is. And we are very happy to see a good resolution."

Trust the science.

You can't post that before November 4.
 
Dangerously dumb and a without doubt a major dickhead.. 200,000+ dead and the obese failure thinks it's funny to make poor witless attempts at jokes.
When is the last time you've been invited out of your house to be around real people? Have you spoken to any of your kids lately? Do you know who your real dad is? What makes you such an angry jerk?
 
That's a very, very small percentage of cases.
It is, but I saw a study, and it might not have been this one, that had IU as zero. I’m sure there are more than two. One is the football player we all know and I know of another. I’d assume there are at least a few more.,
 

It is a known fact that no college student ever meets anyone over 50. It has never happened, and will never happen. So college kids being infected cannot possibly spread it to anyone.

Some kid's parents are allergic to shellfish. Should oysters be banned? What if a kid has a friend who isn't aware, and brings home leftovers from red lobster? Can we be too careful? When is it safe enough?

I’m actually a bit nervous right now. Ran into one of my girls on campus Wednesday. She was coming home from her one in person class. We talked for a couple minutes , outside, both with masks, but just a couple feet away. She text me today to tell me she felt bad yesterday and found out she was positive today. I’m sure it’s fine, but can’t help but worry a bit.
 
that’s a bit dramatic

I have heard some students making the pitch that they should not have the restrictions that we have on them, sort as the article referred to them as prisoners. Yes, in a perfect world they can tie those 3 boats together in Lake Monroe and party. But that world does not exist. If those kids get infected there is a statistical likelihood they will infect someone who might get extremely ill.

We have most bars open, most restaurants are open. But some of the parties are totally idiotic. This is not life as normal. The small percentage taking that route are screwing over the rest.

I can understand it, but outside with masks should be fine. A contact is 15 minutes.

I attended a funeral today for a nephew in his mid 40s. It was a risk I had to take for my sister. It was a smaller funeral, 30 people most wearing masks and distancing. But still, 30 people in an indoor space for 2 hours is a risk. So now the wait to know how the risk played out.

Main bars aren’t open: Roy’s and Sports. It’s so interesting, as I saw almost all kids walking on campus wearing their masks even when they are outside. But then they will go to a party on the weekend. So many kids have already had it, they are now having get togethers with just people who’ve been positive. Campus is really surreal now.,

Condolences to you and your sister, Marv. That's really tough. Lost my sister when she was 40 and it was so tough on our parents. Parents shouldn't have to bury a child like that. Sending good thoughts your way.

I think part of what makes this all so hard is the constant anxiety of weighing out and making choices of what’s safe and what isn’t. I’ve got to make a decision about a flight next month. Funerals and weddings are the hardest decisions. I’m starting to worry about the holidays already too. Hoping for the best for all of you.

that’s precisely the point. they are low risk and their lives are being restricted, etc because of your population and it’s much higher risks. The economy would be better off restricting only those at risk and allowing more freedom to the younger population.

that’s what Stanford Prof Michael Leavitt has been advocating for

How can you do that? How many people over 50 and under 30 work together, shop together, live together. I go to Kroger, will it be during old folks time so the only workers there ate over 50? How do we divide custody of the office space, old people 2nd shift so the kids get to go to the bars? Since I am the only IT person we will need to hire a 1st shift kid. Do we run two busses on the same route, one for low risk and one for high? Or maybe just plexiglass off the back of the bus for high risk. Now if a high risk and low risk break quarantine and meet, which do we throw in jail?

We do know that people can have symptoms for 2-3 months. Not be hospitalized. If someone has had the flu, you know you can feel pretty bad but not be hospitalized. Imagine that for 2-3 months. But we should encourage people to get the disease. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-it-means-to-be-a-coronavirus-long-hauler/
And what about if it mutates into another form? A fat lot of good herd immunity will do for you then. I suppose we will just have to hope the herd become immune to the new mutation.

70% is the minimum for he'd immunity and it might be more. If 40% are high risk, how do we determine what of those need to bite the bullet for herd immunity.
 
At this point with the Greeks, might as well throw in the towel. Quarantine them all until such time as every kid tests positive, recovers, and then tests negative with antibodies.

Greek prison or all inclusive resort I guess

so food allergies are highly contagious and have killed 200k Americans in the last 6 months? Follow-up: has the prez offered any of his homespun cures yet?

Good call. Those river barges can throw up a helluva wake.
If you're talking about the Ohio R, too much water for our little captiva 192. A 23 y/o man drowned Labor Day Sunday at Patoka where we go. The water was crazy all weekend.
