When reading this blog, I was first wondering what spleen was, and I needed to refer to a dictionary to get its French equivalent. Of course I knew the existence of the French term. I nevertheless ignored how to say this in English, and I moreover had no idea about the role of the spleen in our body. I am quite ignorant on this matter ;)

What amazed me most is how other organs take over when it is removed. The body is finally quite well done... Now my question to your post: do you have some numbers about COVID deaths among people with their spleen removed? One of the references you shared says that there is no higher risk of infection, but that there may be a higher risk of a severe form of the disease. That does not sound too critical, IMO. Any thoughts?
