New Study Reveals DANGER for immunocompromised.

Posted by lizzy102 @lizzy102, Aug 21, 2021

New England Jorurnal of Medicine: to paraphrase, 55% of those hospitalized nationwide with breakthrough Covid infections are immunocompromised. Delta Variant. I am taking super precautions!! Please be excruciatingly careful about your safety out there folks.

I’m so happy you’re doing well and feeling normal again. That first year is a dilly. We’ve been given quite a gift!

I agree, Covid is always that gnat flying in our faces! We’re watching it closely because we have missed our winters in Fl the past couple of years! First with all the AML/Transplant hoopla and then Covid derailed the last 2 times. We’re trying again for late October but with FL being such a hotbed and the absolute lack of any sanity down there for public safety, we’re worried we won’t be able to go again!

We own our condo so making arrangements isn’t an issue. We’d drive so that we have our car down there. It’s that thought of being surrounded by so much illness, even with our preventive measures, would be be safe. Ah well, we’ll figure it out as we get closer to winter.

Will you make it to Palm Springs this year? (I think I remember you saying you head there annually?)

We also have a place in Florida and I can’t stand the thought of missing another season! I don’t know when I’ll feel safe enough to go. It’s a real mess down there. Just one more thing to add to my list of wait and see. But I’d really like to see the ocean!

Hi, Lori: Yes, we are hoping to get away this winter to Palm Springs. We were able to go for 9 days in April/May and played lots of golf. 😊 Hopefully, we won’t have any “surprises” that prevent us from going. I hope you are able to get to Florida and Covid cases there will subside!

With respect to the serious title of this post, New Study Reveals DANGER for immunocompromised, I will respond with the observation made by the Romulan Commander in the original Star Trek Season One Episode 14, Balance of Terror: Danger and I are old companions!
Best always,
s!

As a long time Star Trek fan, I can appreciate your sentiment. Probably better than quoting Worf…”Today is a Good Day to Die.” On the other hand, riding a motorcycle is dangerous, but it’s also a blast. But, having been intubated three times and almost dead all three times, a Covid risk adventure is one that I just want to go away!
