Aloha Raul:
You write “This by now is obvious. But I have my doubts over the following: “..This change in the blood is the result of severe inflammation in the lungs..”, because I haven’t seen any proof that it’s the immune system which makes the blood clot.”
I suggest you look into Antiphospholipid Syndrome. For whatever the precise initiating cause is, we can develop antibodies to the phospholipids on the platelets circulating in our blood which causes them to clump or CLOT together. The Catastrophic version of this disease killed my wife of 46 years.
Aloha:
Please keep well in mind, I say again, well in mind that the true numbers of infected are unknown and very well may never be know because an infected individual does NOT have to display symptoms to be capable of transmitting this disease.
THIS IS IN FACT WELL DOCUMENTED.
This is also why the old fashioned shoe leather epidemiology is more important than ever. I have serious doubts that much of this is actually being done.
Dr. Fauci is completely within his bounds to finish his statements of late with “we’re dealing with a moving target, so …”
Get used to it. It IS the fact of the matter.
Aloha All:
Hmm… New Yorker’s escaping the city, eh?
Reminds me of the group from Seattle checking into one of our posh hotels here on the west coast of Hawaii island to play golf. And TO GET AWAY FROM THE QUARANTINE in Washington State.
Gee Thanks,

Aloha:
As a great teacher recently noted: at first meditate on compassion. Then meditate on compassion. In conclusion, meditate on compassion. Then ACT WITH COMPASSION.
It really IS that simple
Thank you, Raul!
