Question

I've had TB when I was just 3 years old, which was like 22 years ago, and I recently found out it left some scars on my lungs. I never really knew about it until now when I went for a medical test for a job in Kuwait. I was so bummed to hear that I was declared medically unfit because of this. Now, I have another job offer from Saudi Arabia, and I really don't want to miss out on this chance. Is there any way to reduce the visibility of these scars? They seem pretty light to me and there's just two spots that show up on an X-ray. Can you suggest any treatment that could help them not show on the X-ray?

Question

I caught covid back on April 6th and ended up in the hospital for a couple of weeksspent about 4 days in the ICU with some oxygen support, steroids, and remdesivir. They let me go on April 22nd. But here's the thing, I just went to this lab for an MRI and a CT scan to check for any black fungal infection. There were covid patients around, and one went into the CT scan room right before me. I had to take off my N95 mask for the scan, and now I'm freaking out a bit about possibly getting re-infected. Should I be worried about this?

Question
