...besides confirmed damage to lungs and immune system, kidney, liver, gallbladder, brain matter, cardiovascular system, spleen, etc ... wait for it.... there is more!!! 
Just posted on another thread: recently discovered damage to central nervous system: in China they found virus in the cerebrospinal fluid of a male patient- he recovered, not sure about sequela 
And we still do not know all about the possible long term damage.[/quote]

This happened with Spanish flu.  The book/movie Awakenings was about people with neurological defects belatedly caused by that.  And I have a family member who died of it about 15 years after the flu.  (Not sure how long the symptoms took to show up but he was totally disabled for years prior to death).  [/quote]

Q: anyone have any info about the potential for central nervous system damage mentioned above?  That freaks me out.[/quote]

Hmmm..now that I look at the literature, it appears that it's actually kind of controversial whether those cases were caused by Spanish flu or whether it was a separate wave of illnesses that coincidentally struck.  But here's some literature on it, for those that are curious.
