I heard on the news last night that it's been exactly two years since the first case of Covid-19 was diagnosed here in southern California. Two years and still going strong...unfortunately.
So, my Mum has Covid and me too, I have same symptoms. Staying on quarantine and sick leave
Have read that diarrhoea, nausea and (weirdly) lower back pain are all symptoms of Omicron
Yes to all of those - except that it's not that weird.
that's a pretty mature way of looking at it. I think that broadcasting all the repercussions of not getting the jab would be a good thing. I didn't even think of what you pointed out so thanks fo that.
are the diarrhea and nausea why so many mama fighters are anti-vax?
I mean they're not even nearly the same thing but hey ho.
It's the concept of denying a vital transplant to someone who is doing everything in their power to make the transplant successful and worthwhile and potentially letting them die to take a punt on someone who is showing a wilful disregard for basic medical interventions who might then take horse worming pills or ingest bleach and thereby destroy their new organ. I think it's the correct call but I'm not sure it needs media attention.
OK let's not give any healthcare to fat people then.
Investigating an individual's culpability in their BMI or in a specific traffic incident would take time and cost money. Seeing that someone is a
I'd say that refusing a transplant for someone who is almost certainly not going to die from Covid is pretty far down said slope.
It's quite simple there is not enough organs to go around. It would be great if there were and maybe one day soon we will get to the point where we can grow organs specifically for people relatively cheaply. However, not supply does not meet demand and so the people in charge of choosing who gets an organ have to make very difficult decisions. Decisions they don't want to have to make, but do. They have decide who will make the best use of this organ. Now yes you can't completely investigate a person's life, but they do have information about patients and they have to make the best decision they can.
My argument isnt that is has an impact, but is so small that it isn't morally justifiable to make a decision based on when it is likely outweighed by lots of other factors.
TBH I can sit with it. As I said they aren't making this decision because they want to or want to put anti-vaxxers in their place. They are deciding who has the best chance of survival from getting the transplant and who will most likely put it too good use. As a doctor in the US said, the immunosuppressants needed to ensure an organ isn't rejected means your immune system is compromised. Even common colds can be deadly to people with a weak immune system, so could covid. If having the vaccine gives more chance of protecting against serious illness from covid, then it makes sense that someone who will be on immunosuppressants should get it.
