I don’t understand US Politics and how/why each state is left up to its own to decide how to handle this pandemic as it knows no borders. We will have to agree to disagree on that one.

Hope you and yours stay safe.
Thanks. I think it’s good to leave it to the states. Every state’s situation is different, and Texas has different situations all over. Dallas, for example, is pretty well shut down. Van Horn doesn’t need to be.

I was thinking about my friend’s son more. As I understand it, after a transplant you get immunity suppressing drugs, to help your body accept it. Perhaps we just can’t do that kind of treatment with COVID-19 all around. Or perhaps we need to develop a plan to get stronger transplant patients infected and immune first.
