Sinai Hospital system now report their analysis of 2,773 CoVid-infected patients.   Twenty-eight percent received powerful therapeutic blood thinning regimens used for lung, heart, or brain clots.  The ventilated patients on blood thinning experienced a 29% mortality while those untreated had a 63% mortality.  Untoward bleeding occurred in 3% of thinned patients versus 2% of unthinned patients.   We know that CoVid triggers enhanced blood clotting.  Effectively treating it saves lives and sometimes limbs.   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109720352189?via%3Dihub   #covid #coronavirus #clotting #anticoagulants covid, coronavirus, clotting, anticoagulants
