I've searched extensively for any studies that describe the 3 month follow up and found exactly one, recently published. I would love if you could identify more.

Results aren't really as described here. Some patients recover, but about 1/3 had persistent lung findings and many had decreased lung function (as measured by DLCO).

Thanks! I suspect OP either misinterpreted this study or just inventing things. I’ve followed this fairly closely and know of no study showing absence of longer run effects, or definite presence of them. It’s too early.

Also note for anyone reading the above study: they were hospitalized patients, with critical excluded. That would be “moderate” in the technical terms used to describe the virus.
