Many highly mutated forms of #SARSCoV2 are spreading now in Europe & NoAmerica. All of them have evolved to evade our immune defenses, to one degree or another. And some seem to be super-spreaders. Mask up, Folks.

In 14 years as a doctor I’ve never known such horrific conditions. Patients dying on trolleys with zero dignity. Or screaming & moaning in corridors. Dickensian overcrowding, total implosion. Despair. Weeping staff. Abject misery. Do you care at all Sir Jeremy Hunt MP? Steve Barclay?

We are happy to share that today, Rick Slayman, our first patient to ever receive a genetically edited pig kidney transplant, has been discharged from the hospital. He is recovering well and will continue to recuperate at home with his family.
