There is some medical evidence that many people with mild or asymptomatic disease have permanent subclinical lung damage. Countries with widespread infection may face a large future health burden.

Plus if you look at the original SARS patients lots of them ended up with CFS, headaches, dysatonomia etc. YEARS later.

There is literally NO medical evidence that this novel disease which as far as anyone knows emerged in around October causes "permanent" lung damage.

Mild cases CANNOT even cause lung damage since mild cases do not get into or damage the lungs - if they do, they are not mild. It is normal after any and all respiratory infections which become severe for some people to have lasting damage, which typically resolve over time.
