NYC doctor on whether coronavirus may cause sudden strokes in young adults

Coronavirus victims are facing a new danger that may occur even after respiratory symptoms fade and infection from the virus clears.
Doctors are beginning to notice a troubling blood-clotting phenomenon, which is occurring more frequently in patients who have the virus. These clots are also being discovered in younger coronavirus patients and can result in sudden strokes or death.
“There’s something about this virus that’s exaggerated that to the nth degree,” said Mitchell Levy, chief of pulmonary critical care and sleep medicine at the Warren Albert School of Medicine, according to Bloomberg. “We’re seeing clotting in a way in this illness that we have not seen in the past.”

He added that blood clotting is “probably the most important thing that’s emerged over the last perhaps month or two."
Clots may form and damage several types of organs in the body. They include the heart, liver, or in patients’ arterial catheters and filters that support failing kidneys.
However, blood clotting that appears in the lungs is thought to be the most severe in coronavirus patients. It can impede blood flow and impact infected patients who already have difficulty breathing due to the virus -- previously believed to be a typical respiratory disease.
Margaret Pisani, an associate professor of medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine says clots in the lungs are likely what’s causing coronavirus patients who may appear well to suddenly “fall off the ledge” and develop a blood-oxygen deficiency, the paper reported.
Doctors had previously attributed lung damage to pneumonia, but they are now looking at clotting as well.
Dr. Hooman Poor, a lung specialist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, noticed blood was not flowing well through the lungs of 14 patients on ventilators, which he determined was due to clotting.

"I feel like all these patients have blood clots in their lungs," Poor said last month, according to the Reuters.

A report in the New England Journal of Medicine last week found that five people between the age of 33 to 49 who had strokes, also tested positive for the coronavirus. They were all treated for large-vessel blockages.

On April 13, a study published by researchers in the Netherlands found that 31 percent of intensive-care unit coronavirus patients they observed had a complication associated with clotting. The study described the findings as "remarkably high."
The large arterial lung clots can also put an overwhelming strain on the heart, which may result in cardiac arrest. Clotting may also disrupt blood flow for coronavirus patients on ventilators, said Edwin van Beek, chair of clinical radiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Queen’s Medical Research Institute, according to Bloomberg.

“That’s quite frightening when you think of it because we didn’t know what we’re up against until we were in a later stage," Frank Rasulo, a physician in neurocritical care in Italy told the paper.

Is it just me, or do you feel tugged by this article (propaganda?) to be more cautious, scared, or even paranoid about NOT CATCHING this horrible virus?

Remember I said a month ago that every time they post an article about some young person who came down with the virus, the symptoms get worse and worse? I said something like, "What's next? Bleeding out of every orifice of the body, like Ebola?"

Well, I was close! Random blood clots forming, choking off your oxygen and causing heart attacks or strokes in the YOUNG AND HEALTHY -- if that doesn't scare you, nothing will!

I sure hope this article is bullcrap.

I read just yesterday that China is calling the post-COVID world "the beginning of the Chinese Century". They think they will come out on top thanks to the takedown of the USA, Europe, and others. And they think they're well on their way already.
Come on, we've gone to war over much less than this.

By the way, Communists don't value human life. China is the land of forced abortions (i.e., killing babies without even the mother's consent). Don't be so naive as to think the Chinese wouldn't sacrifice a few thousand of their own citizens for "the greater glory of China".

Random blood clots forming, choking off your oxygen and causing heart attacks or strokes in the YOUNG AND HEALTHY

Choking off your oxygen = makes me think 5G is connected to this.  Is the virus real?  Yes.  Does it affect those who are old/sick?  Yes.  Could 5G also be affecting others who don't fit the old/sick parameters?  Has to.
.
Why are there studies (which I've seen in the mainstream media a few weeks ago) which say that smoking seems to protect people from the virus?  Wouldn't it make sense that a DANGEROUS RESPIRATORY virus would affect smokers more?  They already have a compromised respiratory system!!  So why aren't they affected?  Could it be because smoke/fire cuts down the danger/power of wifi/radio waves (i.e. 5G)?

A few excerpts from science articles...

Radar observations of smoke plumes have shown smoke and ash to have interesting scattering characteristics[5]. At lower frequencies the effect is thought to be small but is dependent on the fire and may be appreciable in large wooded fires. Small scale experiments undertaken in this work, concentrating on frequencies from 50MHz to 1GHz, have demonstrated that fire can have a significant effect on particular frequencies at different stages of the fires development.

Radio waves from the Country Fire Service units could have been blocked by thick smoke, breaking the line of communication on Black Tuesday. Colin Cornish, the SAPOL officer in charge of communications gave evidence at the Coronial Inquest in Adelaide last Friday, and was asked by counsel assisting the coroner William Boucaut about the effect smoke might have on the GRN (government radio network) system that fire appliances used.
Mr Cornish said he was aware of a University of Queensland report that has suggested smoke can affect the transmission of radio waves.
