7. Interesting. A nephew sent me a study from China...

... a couple weeks ago about how the Coronavirus attacked the hemoglobin of red blood cells too, in vitro.

That nephew is a conspiracy idiot, to be honest, but I still looked into it.

The report was written by a couple Chinese guys working in computer science, it appeared, and I stopped reading about it at that point.

This blood clotting report just reminded me of it. I think low hemoglobin can be associated with clotting, if I’m not mistaken.

Edit:
For what it’s worth, this was it.
