Now there's a growing group of physicians pointing to these findings and calling for proper studies wrt the widely reported clotting characteristic of COVID. While the MSM largely ignores this, focusing on latest lockdown politics or today's soon-to-be-retracted contribution from WHO, some physicians have already experimented with anti-clotting agents but it's been an uncoordinated crisis response mostly for patients who are already in deep trouble.

>FWIW this also is a far better explanation for other anecdote that ventilation sometimes makes it worse- and is quite good news, as medical science does have some experience with platelet activation and other cascade disorders without ICU support for catastrophic respiratory failure. If he and his can prevail, this also justifies testing drugs intended for other purposes than respiratory disorders if they're known to have clotting effects- such as chloroquine, lol.

Thanks for the reply, John. I have passed it on to Jaco.
