This is a general information post of a story on NPR about an immunosuppressed individual and his battle against Covid. It is both terrifying and fascinating what his doctors have found - https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/02/05/964447070/where-did-the-coronavirus-variants-come-from

@athenalee Very interesting, but as @kedwards73 commented, frightening, particularly for us immunocompromised patients. Up until now, I had read those immunocompromised patients could catch Covid easier but once they had they did not fare worse than other people. There has also been some speculation that being on tacrolimus has helped some patients.

I cannot imagine having it for so long and then not defeating it.
