Radiologist @DrGrahamLJ is spot on. In acute COVID19 the anomalous hypercoagulation triggered by the virus IS the disease. Not a secondary consequence of it. We should stop calling it a pneumonia; it’s a vasculopathy. The same process continues in #LongCovid.

Not saying this is the only thing happening in #LongCovid- viral persistence, immune dysregulation, autoimmunity and reactivation of other viruses may be playing a part but it’s clear that the aberrant hypercoagulability is a key feature.
