Red Blood Cells Of Long-Haul Covid-19 Patients Are Smaller Than Normal; Explains Blood Clotting Risk

Weird: the title of the article says that post-coof blood cells are smaller. The article itself says that post-coof blood cells are larger.

I didn't understand how smaller blood cells could cause more clotting, so I skimmed the article. Larger blood cells make sense. Some of the body's capillaries are barely larger than a normal red blood cell, so having larger blood cells could create quite a traffic jam.

Yes, that is weird and I did not catch the error. Thanks for the correction.
