I wonder why people/news seem so obsessed about the death rate itself, while ignoring the incidence of permanent organ tissue damage caused in survivors, as some papers already indicate. I'm assuming this has to be studied further.

Do you have any links for this? Otherwise you’re injecting a lot of scary, unsubstantiated info here, implying the survivors are gonna envy the dead.
As far as I’ve seen, the only papers have been on permanent organ damage in SARS and MERS. I don’t know how there would be a paper out on COVID19 given that it’s barely been a month since it started infecting a large number of patients.
