Whether you think there is evidence of “lasting” negative health consequences is going to depend on what you interpret as “lasting.” There is lots of evidence SOME people still have symptoms a few months after infection.
Care to share some links? I did some quick Googling about SARS back in Spring but couldn’t find anything that didn’t look to me like clickbait and scare-mongering. But I only scratched the surface, so it’s quite likely that I have missed quality information.
Among the 181 individuals who participated in clinical interviews at follow-up, 6 (3.3%) had a history of psychiatric disorders before contracting SARS. At the time of follow-up, a total of 77 (42.5%) had experienced at least 1 active psychiatric illness as determined by the SCID. The most common diagnoses were posttraumatic stress disorder (42 of 77 survivors [54.5%]), depression (30 of 77 [39.0%]), somatoform pain disorder (28 of 77 [36.4%]), panic disorder (25 of 77 [32.5%]), and obsessive compulsive disorder (12 of 77 [15.6%]).

Chronic fatigue was found to be common among both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric groups. The prevalence rate according to the Chalder fatigue questionnaires (chronic fatigue score ≥4 and symptoms lasting for >6 months) and the modified CDC 1994 criteria15 for CFS were 40.3% and 27.1%, respectively. Those with fatigue symptoms were more likely to have comorbid active psychiatric disorders (Table 3).

The priors we have from SARS suggests that those symptoms are lasting.
