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.

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

What possible operation would you get to deal with COVID?

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.

Yup. That looks like one of them.

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.

COVID can produce blood clots.

Did COVID actually kill anyone?
To: max americana
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.
