So far the 5-year survival rate for people under 65 is 0%.

Are you seriously suggesting COVID-19 might have such long term repercussions in "recovered" patients?

A lot of recovered patients have already died, we have no idea how many more will in the future.

I'd need a citation, as I do not know what "a lot" is in this context. Greater than 0 is a "lot" in a sense, but I'd like to know if these are actually common.
