The 41-year-old was receiving treatment in the intensive care unit at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport when he died Tuesday, the Monroe News-Star reported.

LSU Health Shreveport Chancellor G.E. Ghali confirmed Letlow underwent an operation related to the virus and later went into cardiac arrest.

Letlow had Covid-19, but that is not what killed him. A hear after a procedure for it is what killed him. As far as I know, Covid does not increase chances of a heart attack.

If that's what you think you know about COVID, please stop posting about it.

Jury is still out on that. There are a lot of long and short term problems that will be found out after further studies.

Covid can screw up the blood, causing clots which can cause blockages and then coronaries. My cousin recently tested positive and one of the things prescribed was 81mg aspirin to prevent clots. Letlow’s surgery MAY have been a procedure to v dissolve and remove a clot and open up an arterial passage.

“A lot of the same big mouths on FR yesterday saying he died from the virus.”

I was on those threads and posted it may not be the china wuhan virus. As usual, the pandemic priests on FR were up to their scare tactics like clockwork.

One of the heart valves can cause a turbulence that creates mini blood clots....need a 24/7 heart monitor for a month to detect it.

Stupid freepers who have no medical or science backgrounds are clueless about how covid kills people. And in denial hugely about how deadly it is.

Yes

But only god knows the real number

Our government has only been interested in hyperinflating the numbers to exploit the self-created hysteria
