J. Harris:
The Shreveport VA has vaccine injections for veterans, but not their families, I am told by a very spry but somewhat elderly marine cousin from Texarkana.
Several Marshallites have received vaccination from the Super One/Brookshires and many more are on the waiting list. This is said to be the Moderna Vaccine. TAKE IT ASAP.
I have suggested to my 4 grown children that they keep their children out of school for a couple of weeks, at least, until we can see how the Covid is coming along. Two of the boys are on various school boards, but I don’t know what they will do. I offered “Doctor’s Excuses.” That 1968 degree is still good for something. It is my personal opinion, only partially substantiated, that at this time, and for the anticipated post-holiday disease peak, that there is no rush to join a crowd anywhere, even with masks and what precautions you can take with children. They can get sick and not know it and transmit disease to others.
J. Harris: An easily read article on Lung Transplantation after Covid. It explains how and why it’s done. Currently, on rare occasions, Covid sufferer’s lungs simply are destroyed, and sometimes a younger victim might get a lung transplant. Several have not been done successfully.
Picture 1: An surgical specimen of an airless lung with the air spaces almost completely solidifies with infection, debris, and scar tissue. This lung looks like a piece of liver.
Picture 2: A chest x-ray of a virtually airless chest. Are you sure you want chance this disease while you seek herd immunity? Get a vaccination instead. ASAP.
Picture 3. A cross-sectional scan or MRI showing airless lung tissue, completely full of disease, debris, and death.
