COVID update, re: blood clots

This may not be so much new news for many but thought I would pass it along all the same.....good news is perhaps if you're already on aspirin, you may be in a good place.

"the researchers found that pre-treating platelets from SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with aspirin did prevent this hyperactivity"

Interesting, it is worrying when you hear reports of clots developing with covid, however, hopefully this is good news for those of us already on aspirin, and also hopefully the anti platelet drugs we already take would help. Fingers crossed none of us get it anyway.
