Yes this subject has been mentioned many times recently with the hope that we people are better positioned to avoid such problems with our anticoagulants.

Indeed there have been other articles on clotting but this article also discusses the effects of covid19 on the heart muscle itself, the kidneys and other internal organs.

For the first time in 14 years since, since I had a hemi-nephrectomy in 2006, I have had kidney issues, about 4 weeks after having covid19.

Interesting & scary at the same time. Virus is so new to us that it’s all trial & error with the medics. Let’s pray that a vaccine will be found ASAP. Stay safe 🤗
