    You want this thing running rampant through the population forever?!

    I'm just not so naive to think we will have an effective treatment any time soon. Although you're free to keep praying for your common cold vaccine to come.

    Lifelong effects for many, even after "recovery" even if you don't die?

    Lifelong effects that have what kind of impact? Most of the world lives on normally with the yearly upper respiratory tract infections, even though it would be possible to identify lesions in the lung.
