The coronavirus played a nasty trick on David Arellano.
When doctors put him into a medically induced coma on April 13 because of a life-threatening case of COVID-19, the Alpha variant of the virus held sway. But by the time they started weaning him off sedatives on May 23, the strain gaining dominance was a new version, first identified in India, called the Delta variant.
The new variant, Arellano quickly learned, is mutated enough that the antibodies his body built to fend off his previous coronavirus infection don’t work so well against it.
His immune system and the immune systems of all those who fought off the virus before Delta arrived is aimed at the past, like bottles of expired medicine.
Howard Booters Shut Out Silverdale
Tigers Vytzigiro Scores Twice In 2-0 Win Over Seahawks Friday, April 30, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
Even the Silverdale crowd had to applaud after Howard’s Amos Vytzigiro scored the Hustlin’ Tigers’ second goal in a 2-0 win over the Seahawks. The junior striker had made a well-timed run past the midfield and received the ball mid-stride. When a Seahawk confronted him, the elusive dribbler pulled out a five star skill move and feinted right.
This move completely froze Silverdale’s backline, and there was plenty of space for Vytzigiro to pick out a shot. He decided to place his low driving shot to his right, and his Seahawks suddenly had a commanding 2-0 lead going into the half. It was his second goal of the game, with his first coming off a set piece where he took the pass from another teammate’s head and blasted in the goal.

HOUSTON In early March, a delivery truck carrying dozens of bags of live Louisiana crawfish arrived at Crawfish & Noodles. The restaurant, in a district known as Asiatown, is arguably Houston’s best-known purveyor of Viet-Cajun crawfish. The style expands the flavor profile of traditional South Louisiana whole boiled crawfish, with modified spice blends and a twist developed by Vietnamese-American chefs: a generous bath in seasoned butter sauce.
