Covid Blood Clots
For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'Covid blood clots' themselves.letmegooglethat.com
Hint: Add the world "scholarly" to the end of your Google search terms and it instantly weeds out the garbage and gets straight to the science.
Be careful getting your facts from the media outlets which constitutes almost the entire first page of the search you posted. They are famous for catching a sniff of something and then running with it without a whole lot of understanding or fact checking. Then you get the "broken telephone" effect where every other media outlets grabs the same story, assumes it's been fact checked, and republish it. Or publishes their own "spin" on it that fits their particular political leanings.
With this case of hematology issues & covid19, when you read the nuts and bolts of the issue is seems as if there's a lot of question if clotting is an issue specific to Covid19 directly, or a side effect - IE, an existing but perhaps previously never triggered clotting condition being triggered by it. Which explains why not every Covid victim, including many/most in the hospital do not suffer these issues.
In short: Put two people in a room - one that's susceptible to migraine headaches (and one who's not) in a room with strobe lights and loud music. The susceptible person is likely to get a migraine headache. The person sitting in the chair next to them who is non susceptible is just going to be annoyed.
Let me know what numbers you are specifically looking for and I'd be happy to dig them up again. If there's one thing I'm insanely careful with here it's ensuring stuff I'm posting is factual.

You know one of the keys to successfully fighting an infectious disease plague is to not underestimate the capability of the disease, right?
you and Trump would make lousy zoo keepers, attendance would be great but most of your animals would die.
Lots of people are multimillionaires in their minds. I own a $1.2M house and 2 $100K cars, therefore my net worth is north of a million = I'm a millionaire.
Problem being they forget the other half of the balance sheet with all their debts, and also conveniently forget that the bank still owns 75% of those assets in loans and mortgages.
I am a multimillionaire in my spending habits.
There's a difference between underestimating things and assuming things.
I'm a big believer in correlation not being causation, as I'm sure you and others have heard before.
And complications are not symptoms in the medical world. Your original comment on the topic suggested it was a symptom which is the root of my argument. I'm not debating it's not something that is an issue. We are arguing semantics at this point and I suggest we move on...

whats a mortgage?
As a starting point, he had two successful restaurants. Those were probably much of his net worth. Now they are both worth ~$0. Even someone like musk with a net worth of holy crap is worth almost nothing if the companies folded. His uber high net worth is paper only and not diversified.
He's fine, drivethrus are booming, he has less staff and nobody is using the interior, so no cleaning or waste to collect, it all leaves in the cars.
A mortgage is an excellent tool for banks to make lots of money, which in turn along with thier crazy service charges make awesome profits which get turned over in part to bank shareholders (me). Everyone should have a mortgage, and pay the most interest they can afford, once your feeling ok with the debt load buy a cottage using your line of credit (mortgage), thank you in advance.

It all seemed so much more glamorous on Looney Tunes.

Better yet in Murica. Interest is a deduction so you can buy more. Cabin cruisers, RV's and cottages qualify as secondary residences.
It also completely changes the game on owning vs renting (tax deductible interest) and is a big "cultural" influence here as people are listening to the talking heads in the US.... "gotta own property, building equity, etc." but there is a missing element.
BTW I have modelled out (at length) the "Smith Maneuver" (sort of trendy a while back) here to fake a tax deductible mortgage and it is a lot of exposure for very little possible upside... Slightly off-topic as is a lot of this thread....
Renting + investing vs pay down mortgage ... I opted to pay down the mortgage first for one simple reason: That's the "sleep well at night" approach. I don't owe anyone anything (aside from the unavoidable tax man) ... I'll always have a roof over my head.
