Here's a bit of joy: Post-infection cardiac damage found in 78% of recovering COVID19 patients

From the blog of author Charles Stross:

"That's 78% of a cohort, average age 49, of whom 67% had recovered at home (ie. disease was not categorized as severe enough to need hospitalization). Cohort was normalized with respect to other risk factors relative to uninfected patients. Diagnosis by MRI."
