Coronavirus: A 3rd of hospital patients develop dangerous blood clots.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52662065
This was discussed on the radio/TV last night and this morning. A major part of the problems from Covid-19 is caused by an overreaction by the immune system. It contributes to thickening of the blood and increased risk of clotting as well as being responsible for pneumonia and other organ failure, as I understand the processes involved.
A specialist was explaining the three-pronged approach as:
1. antivirals to mitigate/combat the initial infection,
2. anti-inflammatories to dampen the immune system response in more severe cases, and, of course,
3. a vaccine, assuming one (or more) can be found that work and don't produce side-effects
