1/Covid is a cold?
This 47 year old went into cardiac arrest 2 days after feeling generally unwell.
Covid destroyed his heart. Not the virus invading it,no.

It made this patients OWN platelets clump together&block micro vessels.
Platelets hyper activated& destroyed his heart

Covid was found in the pericardial effusion ( fluid around the heart)

Covid is a vascular disease and it can do that to your heart in 2 days.

This patient was otherwise fit and healthy 47 years old.

He died from microvascular thrombosis due to platelet aggregations and DIC.
Not pneumonia.

Conclusions:

‘In view of several previous observational studies, indicating antiplatelet therapy to COVID-19 was associated with lower inpatient mortality,the present case claims the importance of platelet-targeted therapy for prevention of COVID-19-related sudden cardiac death

…for individuals in their 40s and for those even younger.’

Do we have any protocols? No we don’t.
Do we call Covid a cold?
Yes we do.
Is this evidence Covid acts via clotting in the tiny vessels? Yes it is.
Platelets are only meant to activate when you are bleeding.

Covid causes inflammation. Inflammation makes the platelets hyperactivate.
This causes clots.
@resiapretorius has written many papers on this.

And no, the patient was not vaccinated. Before the bots arrive.

This mechanism may account for the excess heart attacks and cardiac deaths we are seeing, especially in that age group.

What if this can happen to any of us, not kill us, but make us sick for a long time? Eg long Covid.

We should learn from these cases as a profession, and use it to see what we can do to prevent it happening over and over.
