A Few Reads for Wednesday

 Obituary:  Paul Alexander 78, one of the last people in the world who spent most of his life in an iron lung, has died following COVID complications.

Snip:


Alexander had lived in an iron lung since contracting polio in 1952. In a video, Alexander said he went to University of Texas at Austin and graduated in 1986, and according to a GoFundMe, he received a law degree, passed the bar exam and opened a law practice.

The GoFundMe has since been disabled for donations, but organizer Christopher Ulmer wrote that Alexander's inability to leave his iron lung left him "vulnerable to theft by those he trusted," and any money raised went to directly to Alexander to maintain his iron lung, find proper housing and provide health care.
