Does the Coronavirus ruin your lungs permanantly?
My mom thinks the coronavirus will permanantly make your lungs incapable of functioning to it's full potential, like hold less air and filter out less particles.
Is that true?
(I don't believe it).

The infection can advance to pneumonia. If pneumonia develops, it is likely to cause at least some loss of lung function due to scarring. The majority of pneumonia cases cause at least some permanent damage.

I have no idea and I do not know, if they have studied that aspect of it as of yet. There are some viruses and such out there that can leave permanent damage though, so it is a really good question. Things like this are usually answered with studies after the contagion has been brought under control.
SARS did in some, leave permanent damage.
