Here's the lungs of a patient infected back in March. The big white blotches are the patient's liver, but the small white blotches in the black area are scar tissue in the lungs.

Here's the redpill on COVID:

• Infection rates are very low compared to anything else called a pandemic
• People across the spectrum of ages have wildly different types of cases: some asymptomatic, some absolutely awful, and everything in between
• Aftereffects look like they'll go on for years in many patients.
• COVID infects other organs: epithelium, brain, liver, and so on
•Even patients who were asymptomatic during the primary infection can develop life-threatening complications later. Embolisms are common.

We could potentially be looking at a drastically reduced life expectancies across the board, and chronic illnesses of old age cropping up much younger.
