Truck drivers and pilots are at highest risk of blood clots because of the prolonged time sitting down. You cant just stand up and walk around whenever you feel like it. I've always known this because of medical family but a lot of people may not know.

"According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), sitting for too long slows blood flow through the veins in the arms and legs, increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This can happen at any age, but after age 40 the risk nearly doubles almost every 10 years."

Yep, this explains the truckers strike recently in Australia.

And that’s why the pilots are joining in with the ATCs; see posts from thread BTT (link from flight aware at post #18).

Pinging this out!
