A new post-mortem study of patients who have died from COVID-19 found severe damage to the lungs and signs of blood clotting in major organs.

Ten post-mortem examinations performed on patients with confirmed COVID-19 found that all patients had lung injuries and early scarring of the lungs as a result of the virus, as well as injury to their kidneys. Nine patients also had thrombosis - a blood clot- in at least one major organ (heart, lung or kidney). The team were unable to investigate thrombosis in the tenth patient.

Interesting. This is why I feel mega-vulnerable as my lung disease stemmed from PEs. Really, really don’t want any more.

Thanks fir the link

Why it's not an insignificant infection, however blasé the youngsters feel about it.
