To quote the good doctor Hartig
Yeah, there's lots of oddness in the article that I put down to translate. The strap line
The damage is apparently permanent.
vs in the article itself
"We don't know how much of the changes will last,"
was particularly jarring.
Howard-
Faulty Google translate aside it was clear that the repeat scans they had done weeks after the initial illness showed no sign of expected improvement though. I'm assuming that a German doc has no motivation to be sewing panick if not genuinely surprised to be seeing the nature of what's going on in previously healthy folk, but yeah, needs more research.

It's also clear from the article in question that after only a few weeks, they've no idea whether the effects will be permanent or not. To quote the good doctor Hartig, 'We don't know how much of the changes will last'. So that German doc is not saying the damage is permanent. It might be, it might not. Fact is, no-one knows.
