'This is not a hoax': Double-lung transplant recipient describes harrowing ordeal

[@jvsnyc]

@CRICKET MICKEY never smoking does NOT guarantee you won't get lung cancer. Neither seat belts, nor air bags nor anti-lock brakes nor never drinking doesn't mean you won't get in a car crash. Proper mask usage is such an easy way to reduce transmission it is insane not to. Yes, social distancing is more important if you can do it. Nothing is 100%. Every sane person does many things a day because they reduce risk, none to zero. For changing their minds, we had hoped asymptomatic people weren't spreading it then confirmed they were. They were also concerned selfish jerks would buy up all the masks and our health care workers would get infected and die at huge rates, instead of the ~1000 we lost last time I checked. The anti-mask people would be funny if the symptoms were loud farts, instead of enough deaths to fill a large stadium with a corpse in every seat and still spreading rapidly.

[@poorthing]

@CRICKET MICKEY their position on masks evolved as the disease became better understood, there is a difference, originally it was paramount that health workers have any available masks. The supply was not available for general population in the early days. It is called a novel virus because it's never been seen..!

[@cynicaldudeMe]

@CRICKET MICKEY haven't you heard? according to trump's voodoo doctor lady, masks don't help. if you don't want to catch the virus, simply stop f**king demons. so i think the federal government should ban demon-f**king. that will effectively stop the virus.... dumbass trump.....

So she has Neuromyletis Optica(NMO) a very intense autoimmune disease that is worse that Multiple Sclerosis. That added to her Covid complications and the cytokine storm killed her lungs. As someone with NMO I really feel for her. God bless her.

[@Swnsasy]

CaliforniaNurse&FitnessModel I have Lupus for 19yrs and had Covid19 and had a HORRIBLE case but they called it mild. Didn't have to go to the ER. My husband has nothing and his symptoms were like mine almost exactly... It just depends on the person and luck to be honest..

[@nupurdeshpande2889]

@Keyser Soze no its not. You need to do your research. People with NMO have high levels of IL6 and cd20 proteins in their blood. This causes constant inflammation and cytokin storms which target their optic nerves and spinal cord even on a regular day. On onset of virus the immune system which is already at a hightened state does double the damage to the lungs than normal people. Lupus patients have slower immune system reactions than NMO. NMO strikes as multiple attacks. It's sad to see people dismiss her after all she has gone through.

[@Swnsasy]

CaliforniaNurse&FitnessModel I'm more scared now wondering what long term effects it could have on me.. Since I had the virus I have an extremely painful lump that came up in my left cheek, I didn't like my doctors eyes when he felt it. They saw the same in my lungs. Lungs are good, it was a fluid patch from the virus but the lump, won't know until Tuesday.. Here's what's bad, a woman here in Ft. Lauderdale lost both of her kids 11 days apart from this virus and they were both Asymptomatic until they just stopped breathing.. Test results didn't come back in time and the daughter was the second to die, no comorbidity.. Now we just had a 5yr old die and a 9yr.. It's just breaking my heart.. Please stay safe love! ❤️

Keyser Soze HIV isn't passed through just TALKING or just TOUCHING man come on, you know that and aren't that dumb. Herman Cain thought the same thing, do you really want to test it??

That’s how my husband is. There is no reasoning with him. No matter how much logic I try to use to make him understand, he just tells me that my eyes are closed to ‘reality’ and I need to think outside of the box. First, he wanted to know why they never gave personal information of the people who have died from it. Then, they started giving information. Then, he said how you never hear from the family to confirm the information is true. Then, they started to interview affected families. Then, all of these people were actors, why didn’t we know anyone who was infected? Then, people in my DC were testing positive. After I told him that actual friends of mine tested positive, he said that the tests are fake. He says if he went to the hospital with the flu right now, they would say he had COVID. No matter how many facts, no matter how many interviews, people who don’t want to see the truth, won’t.

[@jvsnyc]

We need to understand this long-term. I feel like trump took advantage of this and greatly increased it as did his supporters, but this is all flat-earth insanity.

You are right! I personally know a person who died just this week, and many members in her family who are also infected. I know people in my church who are in the hospital with covid-19, many others who tested positive, do not say this is a hoax, it is not! My son is an ICU nurse who tells me of the sick covid patients he has seen die, his girlfriend, a doctor in ICU has also seen more than their fair share in Houston! This is real and these people who just want to spew lies and hate just need to be glad if they haven’t been affected or their loved ones! Unbelievable!

[@AkPacerPilot]

santa fe, bantayan island life last H1N1 virus only killed 17,000 people in 1 year 3 months, a death rate of .028 %. There was a vaccine and the cdc via the government (Obama) invested a lot to get the 310 million vaccines out in a record time. This virus, covid 19, has killed 159,000 ppl in less then 6 months with a current death rate in the US at 6% roughly 600 times the death rate. This virus was almost under control, but Trump pressured everyone to open back up. This virus got out of hand because under the leadership of jarad Kushner prevented resources from going to Washington, New York and New Jersey; while sending resources to areas that had no infections or in some cases they bought off the market ppe stock piled it and forced places hit hard to compete with the world... ask yourself, who kept calling it a hoax still really doesn’t wear a mask, pretty much encourages his brainwashed followers to not wear a mask and send their kids back to school... yet he doesn’t allow anyone to come in contact with him who hasn’t been tested... Trump is an epic failure, he has no other policy other than divide divide divide and burn those who aren’t 100% behind him. Why do you give so much loyalty to someone who wants to sacrifice your health so a bunch of rich guys can get and stay rich. Why do you give your loyalty to someone who is okay with you, your family, your kids to get sick and die? Why are you okay with a president who refuses to ask Putin about the credible evidence that Russia was paying bounties on US soldiers? Why are you okay with Trumps policy to give huge bailouts to corporations, while you, the working class get shit? You are no American are you?

[@boracay12]

Unlike COVID-19, swine flu targeted the younger population, who health officials said had little to no existing immunity. Nearly one-third of people over 60 had antibodies against the virus, making CDC experts believe these people were likely exposed to an older version of the virus earlier in their lives.

[@boracay12]

2017-2018 were the highest ever recorded in this surveillance system, breaking the previously recorded high recorded during 2014-2015; a high severity H3N2-predominant season when CDC estimates that hospitalizations captured through FluSurv-NET translated into a total of 710,000 flu hospitalizations that seasons.

If we don't turn around our behavior toward this virus, imagine the number of people who will need lung transplant, and not having enough donors. This lady is a miracle. I hope her story opens the eyes of many people who do not take the severity of this virus seriously.

[@alexJohnson9119]

No one is going to care unless they feature someone with blond hair and blue eyes.

[@TheBHAitken]

How many of you are going to follow her progress as she tries to figure out the medical bill?

[@losangeles2oo7]

You can help by sharing her story. She has a GoFundMe account

[@crisisactordavidhogg5848]

100% *Real* Folks. If it's on TV, it's fact.

[@Malepical]

Damn.. how lucky can you be to get TWO lungs in two months when people have been waiting on the recipient list for YEARS.. lucky indeed

[@skinnyminny2629]

And she's only 28. I'm glad she made it!

[@astrikhamparian2512]

So glad to see her doing well, truly a miracle and thanks to the doctors and staff that helped her ..amazing story God bless...

[@charlessmith9794]

They never mention what her underlying health issues were???

[@rochellegriggs6461]

I’m glad that she recovered and that she is alive because that was a major surgery we thank God for her life who knew this virus could be so dangerous

[@lucisferre6361]

What an incredible story and what an incredibly strong woman. It's awesome that you were able to beat that. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@losangeles2oo7]

I know her... she an amazing person..please help me share her story... she also has a GoFundMe account

[@letmetranslate4249]

What's her medical history? What do this have to do with Covid? Use critical thinking skills...

[@ecamormex]

I admire her courage, but I would never take a double lung transplant. I'd rather die than to live like this. Then again, I respect her decision and her willingness to fight.

[@keithferns6212]

CGTN broadcasts 38 videos in a 24 hour period as compared to 2/4 on CNN.

[@IfIGottaTellYou]

If she had a double lung transplant in June wouldn't she have major scar in the middle of her chest? Would she be talking so clearly this soon?

[@Rich_Strike]

There are pictures if her scars and her destroyed native lungs on the northwestern medicine site. They’re not pleasant to look at, but since you require visual proof, go ahead and indulge in those brutal images.

[@IfIGottaTellYou]

@@Rich_Strike Kinda weird that you would know that. I call BS

It's kinda weird that you would speculate instead of just google the facts. I literally told you where to look.

[@bernadettevanderploeg9551]

this is scaring the hell out of me.

[@val_SBD]

She is a walking miracle thanks to her amazing doctors and nurses!

[@1stworldnews]

She should’ve been quarantined or isolated in a place where she was safe the rest of us should go on with our lives uninhibited

[@sclogse1]

If you survive the operation, you will need to be on anti rejection meds the rest of your life. They are very strong. I visited a friend who's roommate had a heart lung trans from years of smoking. I had a lot of back pain back then. Slipped discs...we went out that night, and he gave me one of his "muscle relaxers". I had a very hard time not using my burrito as a head pillow. I was Mr. Gone.

[@albussnape2]

🙏for Mayra to continue her recovery. What a remarkable woman, thoracic surgeon, and the huge team of dedicated medical professionals who helped her to make it! 👍❤️. Grateful for her speaking out so clearly about the very real present danger of this pandemic. Wish you’d have her on again. Wondering how she thinks she was exposed, given how she described her efforts to stay safe. Also wondering what the outcome was for her boyfriend-

[@ErnestoM2002]

Congratulations Mayra! It's a pleasure to see yo recovering. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

[@missmiko1]

The media needs to hammer home everyday the failures of the Trump administration to formulate and roll out a national strategy for dealing with Covid. Yes, it is an election issue, so citizens can decide if they want four more years of failure.

[@InsaneFire10YT]

Seems like 180 people dont care about humanity

[@LisaTao]

Why are we still debating whether it’s a hoax or not??

[@metamorphiccrystals8161]

I'm glad she's ok. It is so scary how someone catches it by working from home. No place seems safe.

[@boldcounsel9406]

It makes me question when the title says "this is not a hoax."

[@ll7868]

Bold Counsel It's in the title because when asked what she would say to people calling it a hoax those were the words she said. The title is simply quoting her, there's no agenda or conspiracy to look for.

WOW...GODSPEED TO HER AND THOSE THAT HELPED HER. amazing.

[@fernadoneuro7775]

MAYRA ,YOU DOING WELL ,AM SO HAPPY YOU INVENTING GREAT THINGS

[@lashonetthill5661]

HOW DID SHE HEAL SO FAST FROM A DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT IT TAKES SIX MONTHS AT LEAST TO HEAL FROM THAT ✨✨

[@denisemichael7353]

Continued prayers for you! May you be blessed Myra! Thank you for sharing this experience with us...😷😷😷✌️✌️

[@Ho_Lee_Phuq]

Surely, a sad story indeed. But to be clear, no one is calling this a Hoax.

[@Biscuit9891]

It's a hoax

[@icum220]

Why are people down voting this? Do people think she's making this up?

[@b.41879]

@Renee how so?

[@b.41879]

@Renee did you actually watch the video?

[@variantways2704]

So True...The Corona-virus is not a hoax...Corona-viruses have been circulating the U.S. (and the globe) for at least 3 decades...There's at least 1500 Corona-virus strains according to the CDC website...so it's not a surprise that by the year 2020 that most Americans would test positive and carry a strain without knowing it...I see CNN after all this time is really beefing up their strut and found an actual COV patient they can validate as a COV severe case...if by chance Ms. Ramirez is from South America..she probably does not have immunities even against the common flu...That's a proven FACT.. that many people from South America will get very sick over the common flu...so the COV would be just as similar and/or deadly..."My sincere hope for Ms. Ramirez's recovery"...

[@angeloxdmt]

Jesus imagine going to the hospital and getting put to sleep for 6 weeks with nightmares and waking up

[@AdamBladeTaylor]

I had no idea you could actually replace someone's lungs.

[@gregoryvierra6114]

You’ve never heard of a lung transplant?

[@AdamBladeTaylor]

@@gregoryvierra6114 No. I know about hearts and kidneys. I hadn't actually heard about lungs before. And I know that you can replace lenses in eyeballs (but not the entire eye). Not that I really follow medical stuff though.

[@OrigamiPaperCSH]

Bless her and everyone involved. We hope you continue to improve.

[@kenwithaK]

imagine the bill. i hope she has help.

[@oneki]

this is the part that gets missed out when people only look at the number of deaths. For every death there are these sorts of cases, some of which end up being life-changing and meaning you end up as having a pre-existing condition. Goodluck Mayra.

[@spb7883]

What does it say about American culture that someone would even think this was a hoax?

[@leilacurigliano6776]

cant believe ppl think this is a hoax, grow up.
