Long term health consequences of C19

[frogwoman]

Have there been many follow up studies done of patients in Wuhan who have recovered from COVID-19 and how they are doing? There are studies suggesting that people with even mild symptoms get lung damage from the disease which persists after they recover, is there any indication of how long this will last or whether it's everyone or just a minority?

Basically once someone has recovered, what kind of precautions would they have to take with their health afterwards, if any?

Pollution in Wuhan was so bad I doubt they'd find anyone without some lung damage.

Pollution in Europe also isn't great tho? But good point, because the virus could make stuff worse in areas with terrible air pollution

mebbe quitting smoking is a no-brainer?

vaping has a profile that i imagine isn't going to turn out cheerful...
