Is it hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? It’s a big country. A number matters.

but I suspect we’ll see more articles than we can count from The Washington Post and ap and those other outlets about any anomaly anytime anywhere anyhow anywho

Also per CNN

Doctors try to untangle why they’re seeing ‘unprecedented’ blood clotting among Covid-19 patients.

Anecdotal reports coming out that this Chinese Virus causes blood to clot all over the body, especially the lungs.

Never cure a medical crisis if it can be used as a political weapon, right Washington Compost?

This is why Type O, which has trouble clotting, is most resistant to Wuhan C-Virus.

Uh oh. This is not good. It will certainly bring the panic up another notch, and rightly so, if true.

Per the article

In a letter to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine next week, the Mount Sinai team details five case studies of young patients who had strokes at home from March 23 to April 7. They make for difficult reading: The victims’ ages are 33, 37, 39, 44 and 49, and they were all home when they began to experience sudden symptoms, including slurred speech, confusion, drooping on one side of the face and a dead feeling in one arm.

One died, two are still hospitalized, one was released to rehabilitation, and one was released home to the care of his brother. Only one of the five, a 33-year-old woman, is able to speak.

It is a blood disease.

The clotting feature hits A+. Most common.

I’ve been following what has been posted here with some interest about the illness itself. A couple things that people seem to be “assuming” are irreconcilable, IMHO. You can’t be “getting worse because you have no immunity to the ‘novel’ virus” and then hours later have “Cytokine Storm”. Seems to me you have one or the other but not both. Right along it seemed to me what people have described is a viremia that attacks all the cells the virus is exposed to. The “entry” is “Pulmonary” because it spreads via droplet or aerosol. But from there it is a one or two cell layer trip to the vascular system. The cells that are exposed next are the vascular endothelium and the cells of the circulating blood.

As the vascular endothelial cells are killed the underlying “basement membrane” is exposed and this is a very thrombogenic substance. So very early on the body “sees” a shower of circulating micro emboli. Hence the “blue toes” as these emboli are trapped in the “U shaped” capillaries.

The brain is one organ that “sees” this shower of microemboli and like the heart the brain is nothing but dead end arterioles. So no emboli that go to the brain leave it. Same with the Kidney. So unless I miss my guess, these are the organs that take the worst of it in the early stages and during this part of the illness the patients really have almost no symptoms. The emboli are microscopic.

Sounds like if for some reason (who knows what it is?) IF the viremia stops this is as far as the disease progresses. If it continues the illness progresses. So what could make the virus stop? A healthy immune system, perhaps. Sounds logical.

But what if? What if this virus loses it’s Ro and CFR characteristics in transmission from person to person rapidly? If that is taking place so rapidly could a virus actually go through “enough passages” inside one person during one illness such that it starts out highly pathogenic and then just “runs out of steam” part way through? I don’t think anyone has ever proposed such a thing could happen but with a “manipulated” virus that can’t hold the characteristics it has been manipulated to have?

Think about it, we are talking about Ro’s and “generations” that are in the hundreds considering transmission host to host but INSIDE one person the illness progresses through thousands of generations. Could it be that when a patient begins the illness the virus they are spreading is highly virulent but when they are down and out the virus that is circulating is less virulent?

Just a thought.

MSM is pushing blood clot anecdotes.

Once thought to be a pathogen that primarily attacks the lungs, it has turned out to be a much more formidable foe — impacting nearly every major organ system in the body.

I think that is what the flubros and those too quick to do away with the restrictions don't get. This is not the flu. It's not pneumonia. This something completely different and, it's incredibly dangerous. The more they research this virus, they more they discover and none of it is good.

It explains a lot of the lab findings. The elevated D Dimer producing a “DIC” like lab presentation. The “circulating strands of clot” that are producing signs very similar to hemolytic anemia. Circulating micro strands of clot that are shredding red cells. Unchecked this leads to wide spread organ failure of all organ systems. But this only happens in a very small percentage of all those infected.

So what is the variable? Size of Innoculum? Immune Response? Pathogen rapidly shedding it’s pathogenicity? A combination of all of the above?

It has been brought up that the CCP virus either causes hypoxia or is the result of the virus. could this be related?

Or it could have been incredibly dangerous but it is turning into much less dangerous. So what we have accomplished with our efforts is to “reboot” the epidemic to a “new” one with more favorable Ro and CFR. Let’s hope for that because people have pretty clearly done all they are gonna do. With a CFR of less than one percent the argument to “just drive on through” is going to carry a lot of weight, at least at the beginning.

What you are describing is called “Diffusion Block” and you can read about it if interested but not surprising at all. Expected.

Chicoms, via the their 5th column cadres in the press have to keep things on the boil. Can’t have people thinking they can ever live in a non police state again.
