Very concerning. Elsewhere I posted a note that some viruses live in your body forever and can pop up at any time. (Chicken pox which later manifests itself as shingles, Herpes, HIV)

I am NOT saying that coVid-19 is one of these viruses, just that this is one of the unknowns. We still have a lot to learn about this disease.

Put on a 1 to 5 scale (one being the lowest level of concern), this article has raised my concern level from a 1 to a 2.

higher risk for strokes ?

 

[Ralph Sir Edward]

Yes. Higher risk for heart attacks, as well. We still don't fully understand the blood clotting problems created by COVID-19 - or how long they last. (no baseline yet. . .)

How many? How is causation established?

 

[CalGalTraveler]

Yikes!

Unexpected Cause of Death in Younger COVID-19 Patients is Related to Blood Clotting | BioSpace

As more is discovered about the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2, an unexpected cause of death has been identified—heart attacks and strokes caused by blood clots. And this, in particular, appears to be the cause of death in some younger patients under the age of 50.

Quote: "A study out of the Netherlands, published in Thrombosis Research, also described increased rates of thrombotic complications in 184 critically ill COVID-19 patients with pneumonia, citing a 31% rate of thrombotic complications. The risks including pulmonary embolism (PE), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), ischemic stroke, heart attack (myocardial infarction), or systemic arterial embolism."
