This is the study many articles making similar claims cite:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2763524?resultClick=1.

The article you posted is citing a study that's "not complete", so we'll talk about the study I just showed you, and so far it's the only one I can find where they measured "lasting effects"... Everyone with lung damage was really old and most of them already had complications. Even within the study they don't mention "permanent" damage, as in you know it's only been months if not only weeks at the time of the study. This was done in China. So, pay attention to the wording in the NS link you posted.... 15% to 20% of people that needed INTENSIVE CARE....which is like 3% of people that contract the virus...15 to 20% of THAT are having problems 3 months down the line. These are not turn off your life, never leave the house numbers. I'm sorry, they just aren't, at least not to me.

So idk it looks silly to me when people claim that you're "risking your life eating at a restaurant" and it's like...well, that's for them to decide. I really don't think it's as risky and stupid as you are claiming.

So it's a small percentage of the worst cases. To me, this does not seem out of the ordinary for viral infections like say...the flu in January on the elderly population. But this is my opinion based on data.
