The Delta variant of COVID-19 generates, apparently, stronger infections among patients who are not vaccinated, or who have recently recovered from the infection, and below you can see some images of people cured from the infection.

Stories Covid_19 delta mutation, with a happy ending!
We have been talking about the severe respiratory failure of critical Covid_19 patients, those for whom intensive care beds quickly became insufficient in this pandemic wave. It is an extremely serious suffering, the need for oxygen increases like in no other lung disease, which is why all hospitals have increased the capacity to store and distribute oxygen to unimaginable levels!
We have selected some lung CT images suggestive of the severity of lung involvement in this disease. The good news is that although very serious all of these patients are alive and home for some time!
However, too many patients delay presentation to the hospital and the consequences on the lungs are devastating, often irreversible! Don't stay at home with low oxygen saturations! These patients are almost impossible to save! A few simple analyses, a lung x-ray/CT and the medical consultation guide the treatment and avoid or limit the severity of pulmonary fibrosis or life-threatening microthrombosis!
Without oxygen there would be no life on earth and survival on the planet is due to the adaptation of organisms to the concentration of oxygen in the atmospheric air! In hypoxia cells suffer and die!
