Chucky, any further words of wisdom/reassurance for those of us with pregnant wives in the time of Covid?

Not so much different than the general population. We were originally concerned that preggos would be more susceptible due to their immunocompromised state, but hasn’t necessarily been shown to be true. Most patients do well, which I hope for you CE Tiger, but the ones that get hypoxia go down hill quickly due to decreased baseline respiratory reserve secondary to the pregnant uterus. Masks, wash hands, the general stuff. If you she does have access to the vaccine, take it. It’s not a live vaccine.
