Baja Cat is hospitalized
This morning while reading Facebook, a follow-up to Jose 'Baja Cat' announcement that he contracted C-19 from 3 days prior announced that he is
currently hospitalized (likely in Tijuana where he resides) and in a very delicate condition.
His friend posted that he has been hospitalized, is sedated and is currently intubated. Updates on his condition will be posted periodically, but I
am concerned about his cigar smoking as that raises his risks tremendously.
Let's hope that Baja Cat pulls through.

No
I think that is Graham Mackintosh you are referring to. The Baja adventurer and author.

Jose's friend Dahlia Black clarified to me via Facebook that Jose, "Is not an actual smoker. He just lights up a cigar 2-3x/year, but he does not
know how to smoke them.".
I explained that I would post this in order that we are all aware of his possible risk factors.
No further updates to provide yet. I will be in contact with his friend Black Dahlia as she has been posting updates.

You're welcome - and, I have no additional updates to provide for the end of this week. Hopefully, next week there will be updates provided on Jose's
condition.

Message from Jose's friend
Update from Monday 1/10/22
After bring intubated several days Jose came down with a pneumonia commonly associated with the ventilation.
This combined with Covid created an additional setback for our friend Jose and his state overall.
The extubation has left Jose unable to speak at the moment, and his medical team is waiting to see the effects of the medication taken against this
aggressive pneumonia.
The good news is that his vital signs are stable, without fever and his labs show a good response over this complication of pneumonia.
Please maintain your prayers for Jose's recuperation - and know this recuperation will take time. These days have been very difficult and stressful.
- The Black Dahlia
