World' first COVID-19 patient gets lung transplant in China

The world's first lung transplant for a patient infected with the COVID-19 was conducted, now the patient is in stable condition.

See the protection suits and shields those doctors wear when doing the operation, hopefully the good lungs won't get infected again..

Risky strategy, as we are not sure whether this particular virus persists at low levels after initial clinical recovery. I hope the patient doesn't simply undergo a relapse and then the virus attacks the donor lung. This is all the more risky because he would be heavily immunosuppressed due to the transplant.

Hope it works out well.
