And a Nature article with more information: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01403-8

Obviously it is too soon to tell, but this may be more of the same. It is concerning because we expect a large number of people to be exposed to this virus. Even a small chance of long term damage ends up with a lot of cases with the numbers we are expecting.

Additionally, it may change the calculus of so called herd immunity strategies. Though it is a little late for that.
