Does anyone have any idea if this is fatal/permanently debilitating or if it is temporary? That would seem kind of important.

EDIT: I guess I meant to say, yes, people have died, but of those that recovered is it a full recovery or a permanent disability?

There have been 5 confirmed deaths so it seems fairly serious.

5 deaths is fairly serious?

Almost 500k die from smoking cigarettes every year, so vaping seems like a great alternative.
