The new coronavirus appears to be causing sudden strokes in adults in their 30s and 40s who are not otherwise terribly ill, doctors reported Wednesday.
They said patients may be unwilling to call 911 because they have heard hospitals are overwhelmed by coronavirus cases.(Snip) Dr. Thomas Oxley, a neurosurgeon at Mount Sinai Health System in New York, and colleagues gave details of five people they treated. All were under the age of 50, and all had either mild symptoms of Covid-19 infection or no symptoms at all.
"The virus seems to be causing increased clotting in the large arteries, leading to severe stroke,"
Not sure what they mystery is: CV19 is a blood disease. It causes clotting problems. Hence problems in toes.
Take aspirin if you have it.

Aren't all strokes "sudden"? Nobody has ever said, gee, I think I feel a stroke coming on. Tomorrow I should make an appointment for a specialist.
Point being that the media never misses an opportunity to dramatize everything.

Someone posted yesterday that COVID-19 affects only the lungs so cannot cause clots (aka emboli) in the legs. It was on a thread where medical information was posted about COVID-19 and pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.
Another excellent article by a doctor who taked about COVID-19’s being a disease of the immune system was trashed because he went lib in one last paragraph.
The human body is far more complex than many know...

Five patients? Five? And the press dismisses hundreds or thousands of recoveries involving HCQ as “anecdotal?”

Few are really interested in information, it appears. Anything informative is swept by without a word. But I’ll keep trying. This first person report by an ER doctor in New Orleans on what he was seeing. He is presenting this to inform other ER doctors who are having to deal with COVID-19. It should be pretty illuminating to those who say “it’s just a bad cold” or “it’s just the flu”. What it doesn’t seem to be is “just” anything. For those interested in medical information from the front lines; no politics…

So, is the documented death from the stroke, or the Chinese Virus? To make the death rate for the virus to increase (more money), the death rate from strokes must go down.
What about the other things that cause strokes?

Do we really trash reports from doctors at first-rate medical facilities because they are published by CNN? We have sunk to a new low.
I am noticing that few do “in depth” reports. The New York Times is one, CNN is another. Fox News? Forget about it.
The article includes a warning. Might be a good idea to read it.

There was an actor who had to have his leg amputated recently thanks to CV and the clotting problems. That problem is not a good thing to morph into.

Headline says "causes", quote says "seems to cause". Alarmist, much?

I have an feeling we are now going to be treated to all kinds of stories about the mysterious world of clots and how they form and work. I don't have a problem with that. And yes, strokes can be sudden, if the person has a clot somewhere and it breaks off and goes where it isn't supposed to go. Like the brain, heart or the lungs. If a person sees a doctor fairly regularly, I suspect that the doctor can take preventative measures to stave off a stroke. But if a person has a healthy lifestyle and something unusual like CV becomes involved, then yeah I would think a stroke could wind up being sudden.
I am with an earlier poster. It is a real shame that some people blow off vital information simply because they choose to knee jerk rather than think the information through. Once in a great while, CNN stumbles on an acorn.

One more reason why the French doctor was correct. He treated his patients immediately with the 5-day treatment of HCQ + Z-Pack + Zinc.

CNN and WashComPost are reporting clotting. Since they have published so much Fake News in the last few years, I'll wait until a reliable source or three reports this before buying this.

CNN squandered their credibility with years of distorted and fabricated reporting. Many of us simply do not trust them any more and won't believe anything they report unless it's also reported by multiple news sources still having some credibility. If CNN told me I'm alive, I'd seek a second opinion.
I hold #4 in sufficiently high regard to offset CNN's negative credibility, and bring this back to neutral. But even if God told me "CNN was right on that", I'd have to respond, "Really?!?" - not so much from disbelief, but from surprise.
Re #2 - sure. But many people (probably even some here) had doctors warn them they were "a stroke waiting to happen", maybe even multiple times, before that hammer fell.

First: I do NOT trust the source. CNN has published too many intentional lies for me to automatically trust anything that they print.
I agree it is NOT 'another flu' for some people, there is no question about that. But for at least 40-60% of the people it is apparently essentially nothing, and for some number it is another flu, but for a minority of people it is very, very serious.
So, for those who get seriously ill, doctors need to have all the info that they can get. Look out for clotting? Sounds entirely reasonable to me.
There was some actor who had a leg removed due to clots because his previously prescribed blood thinner for leg clotting was ordered discontinued by his doc while treating Wuhan flu. Does this indicate that blood thinners are generally incompatible with the lung problems of this flu?
Docs will know, I hope. I sure don't.
