I understand your position. It is reported that most viral pneumonia is usually mild. But in some cases it can become very serious. It seems that with Covid-19, the overwhelming of healthcare facilities is the main worry of medical professionals. Mainly, the shortage of ventilators. They anticipate a lot of patients developing severe pneumonia with this virus. Hence, this is not your run-of-the-mill flu virus.This is not unique to the Covid-19 it is common result of pneumonia caused by any virus that has attacked the lung tissue. In fact it happened to me after my bad bout of infuenza. It took months for lung function to return to normal.
As usual the media is trying to spin a story to give all this corona crap new life after what they perceive to be dwindling interest based on the fact that the current narrative is repetitive and boring and that the worst is over.
The saddest thing is that there are so many idiots in the world who lap it all up.

Answer
I am sorry to learn that you had pneumonia last year. I hope that you have made a good recovery, and that you have returned to full activity.
When an infection develops, there is an inflammation of the air passages beyond the windpipe. Part of our immune response results in the formation of mucus and catarrh, which takes a couple of weeks to clear.
Usually, this will be mopped-up by our defensive mechanisms so that we do not develop pneumonia every time we are exposed to the common cold.
If the attacking bacteria or virus is particularly aggressive, or we are run down and immuno-suppressed, the bug may multiply rapidly to invade a whole area of lung tissue.
This may occur in an entire lobe of the lung or be scattered throughout both lungs in bronchopneumonia. When the lining (pleura) of the lung becomes affected, the infective process will cause the lung to adhere to the pleura to produce the pain of pleurisy.
Then, as the condition becomes walled off by our defending white blood cells, the inflammatory response will sometimes result in scarring.
It is equally likely that an area of infection within the lung will be contained by the body's immune response and that scar tissue will develop.
These changes will often produce an appearance of thickening, or scarring, on an X-ray of the chest.
In time, the infection and inflammatory response will subside. The scarring will diminish steadily as time goes by, and there will be a corresponding improvement in air entry to the damaged lung, and a return towards normal lung function.
In most circumstances the scarring will diminish, even if it does not entirely disappear after a bout of pneumonia.
Yours sincerely

Tell them Singapore is a bad example. I think the pap is following the UK's approach of using herd immunity. Dangerous approach because many will die. They tell us not to wear masks, are itching to reopen borders, and want kids to infect their parents and grandparents by bringing home the virus from school.
I have I also posted
Sinkieland can contain (thus far) because contact tracing is good. This is a small country, everyone's being watched by Big Brother. They roped in the police to help. This is why we have been "effective". Best would be to lockdown the country but pap would never ever do that. Money and economy are more important than sinkie lives.
This coronavirus is not your usual flu virus. It targets the lower respiratory tract and lungs, infected persons are asymptomatic etc etc. You know how potent it is.A small cut on a my big toe or a prick by a rose thorn can become serious too.
What is the world coming to that we are just so damned scared of everything except the things we should actually be scared of.
Shall we BAN the sale of rose plants from hereon in?

Pensioner dies after pricking finger on rose bush
By CHRIS BROOKE FOR THE DAILY MAIL
UPDATED: 12:17 AEDT, 20 March 2010
A pensioner has died after pricking his finger on a rose bush while gardening at home.
George Emmerson, 73, didn't realise a thorn from the plant he was pruning back had become embedded into his finger and developed blood poisoning.
His arm had to be amputated and he died a week after the apparently trivial incident.
Mr Emmerson was married with three children and three grandchildren, who have been stunned by the freak gardening tragedy.

they lost contact with the wuhan whore who infected the bangla worker who is still in icu. apparently, they also cannot trace over 169 of her clients. her clients must be banging away more prostitutes in geylang and passing the virus around. it's just a matter of time before the next (big) wave hits.
Case 12? She was discharged. After that, I guess she returned to servicing her clients.
another wuhan whore. untraceable as she left after her sexual visit pass, oops social visit pass.
So instead of getting screwed, she screwed a few unsuspecting horny bastards.
historically, pathogens tend towards this. I have forgotten the exact details and can go and dig it up, but it actually ensures the survivability of the virus. A virus that is virulent enough to kill it's host off will run out of hosts.
looks like everyone there has caught it already.
