Not sure what respiratory diseases you are comparing it to as there are many varied types that have complications worse or milder, but not the infection rate we see with Covid. Knowing nurses that have caught Covid in Australia, have lasting lung problems 6 months after the infection due to damage caused, and cant carry out normal daily activities as a result. If you want to bury your head in the sand and ignore the actual science go ahead.
if it was of any concern we would have millions and millions of people all around the world totally debilitated by their covid recovery. We don't. That's why there is no serious concerns or urgency to study it. Very small proportions of people will have lasting ongoing issues, just like serious influenza cases. Sorry, nothing unique about Covid.
