- meddlepal 7y agoSpeculated maybe, but known? Not widely and it looks like it's now starting to get wider attention which is a good thing. The more we know about this virus the better it will be for treatment. If clotting is a significant problem we definitely have drugs to help with that.
- roenxi 7y agoBefore the evidence is overwhelming it is highly likely; before that probable; priorly possible and previously hinted at. So if the coronavirus is doing something in the blood then there probably was evidence of it from the start but it is still newsworthy if the evidence has passed a new threshold. It would make for some interesting implications if coronavirus detected in the respiratory system isn't the mechanism for bad cases of COVID-19. Some of the drug trials done looking at viral loads would be partially invalidated.
