If I stop checking in BYC, it means Covid killed me. Just a heads up.

It really seems to depend on the patient. The men seem to do much better when they receive it, doesn’t seem to impact the women positively in the same positive way. That’s just my anecdotal evidence, though.

there’s a theory that people with type A blood are more likely to get seriously ill from the virus, while type O blood people exhibit less severe symptoms. Most of our donated convalescent plasma recipients are type A.

Great info. Thank you.

What a nice friend, wish I had someone like that. Lucky you

She is truly The Best. And her d-i-l works in the Mayor's Crisis Management office so she passed the tip on to me. But they're getting up a head of steam now and scheduling like crazy.

Hope the vaccine holds up so they can get everyone. LA is really in tough shape!

Sorry, replied to the wrong quote...convalescent plasma is a very common treatment in my hospital (for people, lol).

That’s ok, glad to hear it. Do they get it from the blood bank? Are they still asking people that have had it to donate plasma?

Ok, ca

Life is unpredictable and sometime I will make a mistake. Crossing my finger that I don't. Looking forward to the vaccine but I won't be eligible due to that I'm not a senior.

Don't panic, Tonyroo. Good protocols -- hand washing, mask wearing, antiseptic cleaning, maintaining distance, especially in enclosed environments -- can still go a l-o-n-g way to keep you safe until your # comes up on the vaccine schedule.

I'm in LA where they estimate 1 person in 3 has been infected. For the last year I've done the errands my family needs done using good practice and I've stayed disease-free.

My husband is in a workplace bubble of about 300 people. Some of them need to work in very close proximity. They've had a mere handful of positive tests and infected people over the last 5 months. They haven't had a single case of transmission within their group since August when they started up again.

My daughter has been in the Covid ICU units on a week-in-week-out basis. She was doing the intubations and extubations which were the riskiest procedures of all. And she stayed healthy until she finished her vaccinations about a week ago.

Knowing what you're up against helps. Vigilance and good practice are important. Limiting opportunities for contact whenever possible is crucial. Being hopeful and optimistic is also important and makes life in the Covid era much more pleasant.

Thank you for your insight, I much appreciate it.

thats a pretty heavy hand your showing in this "game of life".... why the urgency for "laying your hand on the table"? If I may ask the obvious semi-nosey question.....
