“In short, the study suggests that there could be some long-term loss of brain tissue from Covid, and that would have some long-term consequences,” Gottlieb said.

I wonder if working in the gas and oil industry had anything to do with the state of his lungs, and why it affected him so severely.

Still, now that he’s got a new set, I hope he takes care of them. I don’t think we should be giving vital organs to people who had the chance to get vaccinated, but then decided not to.

I mean, talk about selfish.

It is recommended we wear masks indoors. I definitely will. Less than half of LA County is vaccinated. They aren't changing capacity requirements or closing anything yet. We'll see where this Delta variant takes us.

If you got the J&J vaccine and are in an area with low rates of vaccination I'd talk to my health care provider and seriously consider getting a booster with an mRNA vaccine.
