A question I'd ask is in regards to those that catch the virus and survive. If they had the cough and breathing problems I wonder as to how much permanent damage is actually done to their lungs? To my knowledge I've not heard any governments strategizing on how to deal with the survivors in the future since they could well require future medical treatment and support for years to come, even after the virus has gone dormant.

After recovery (from the worst cases?) there can be
reduced lung function; and somewhere in the past seems like I noticed mention of possible cardiovascular damage. But to what degree those impairments are truly "permanent" may be waiting for the future to settle yet.
How and where to allocate stockpiled ventilators during a pandemic
https://home.liebertpub.com/news/how-and...demic/3669
RELEASE: Key factors must be taken into account in determining the need for and allocation of scarce ventilators during a severe pandemic, especially one causing respiratory illness. Strategies to help state and local planners in allocating stockpiled ventilators to healthcare facilities, including pre-pandemic actions and actions to be taken during the pandemic, are detailed in a timely article published in Health Security, a peer-reviewed journal from by
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. ...

Lisa Koonin, Health Preparedness Partners, and colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, GA), coauthored the article entitled "
Strategies to Inform Allocation of Stockpiled Ventilators to Healthcare Facilities During a Pandemic." Prior to a pandemic, planners should determine existing inventories and facilities' ability to make use of additional ventilators in the event of a public health emergency. This information needs to be updated at the time of a pandemic. Determining where to allocate stockpiled ventilators should be based on an assessment of need, the consideration of ethical principles discussed in the article, the ability of facilities to absorb additional ventilators, and the ability to ensure access to ventilators for vulnerable or high-risk populations.
"Ventilators will be pivotal to saving countless lives in this COVID pandemic. Understanding CDC's plans and recommendations for state and local planners around ventilator management in this kind of crisis will be key for helping them make decisions under very difficult conditions," says Editor-in-Chief Thomas V. Inglesby, MD, Director, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, Baltimore, MD.

Can US Prisons React Fast Enough To COVID-19?

EXCERPT: . . . There were numerous reports of prison riots in 27 different Italian prisons across the country where six inmates were killed and prison staff were taken as hostages. The riots were instigated after fears of contagion rose among an overcrowded prison system that is 20% over capacity. The inmates had also recently had their movements restricted and had been cut off from social visits. Those restrictions on inmates in Italy are similar to those now taken here in the U.S.
The
Federal Bureau of Prisons has suspended social visits, legal visits and transportation of inmates between institutions. There are more than 175,000 people incarcerated and among them are 10,000 that are over the age of 60 and thousands more in federal medical centers that treat advanced diseases. There are also those with high risk health profiles that make them more likely to become seriously ill from the virus. It is already causing fear in the institutions.
Government officials have not been silent on the pending catastrophe... (

Would China use prisoners as property of the state to conduct tests? Intentionally infect inmates in order to grab some plasma and ship it to wherever?

They already use them as sources of spare parts for organ transplants. So infecting them and them using the ones who recover as sources of immunoglobulins wouldn't be any kind of stretch. I wouldn't be surprised if that's already being done to benefit top communist party officials.
