The graphic in this Guardian article [1] suggests that for age 40+ the number of covid-related ICU admissions prevented vs. no. blood clots has a factor 10 gap.

The graphic in this Guardian article [1] suggests that for age 40+ the number of covid-related ICU admissions prevented vs. no. blood clots has a factor 10 gap. Of course, clots might be more severe than ICU admission. But still, it looks to me like stopping for over 40 is a huge mistake. Very disappointing.

- makomk 6y agoYeah, and that's based on the relatively low levels of Covid in the UK recently too... I'm not sure there's anywhere in Europe whose Covid outbreak is currently as under control as the UK's.
- sofixa 6y agoIn Scandinavia it seems that the amount of cases with blood clots are higher than in the rest of the world.
