The research is not suggesting there is lung damage. They say there is a difficulty with the oxygen transferring into the red blood cells. This is how I understand it and I may be incorrect in my interpretation. I understand this is then having a detrimental effect on people. They seem to be saying that this is an issue that needs to be looked at - if the oxygen is not transferring in, how do we reverse that process so we can bring people back to taking in the normal amount of oxygen when they breathe in and out?
