How soon until the first person takes warfarin?
Warfarin has other issues like bleeding out after a blood sample is taken or with a minor injury. Not to be recommended except as a last resort. I would prefer a little brain fog.
However the long covid symptoms are allegedly the result of injury due to a blood clot, not the clot itself which may well have long gone so I don't see that taking the likes of warfarin solves anything.

Pretty sure he was joking/being sarcastic. Like the idiots who advocated ivermectin though someone will do it.

Picked it up for the second time over the last few days. Tested positive this morning after showing symptoms the last few days but showing negative. Feel OK so far. Bit of a sore throat and tired but nothing past that. GF is having a worse time of it.
I'm not sure. I did find some sites talking about them.
It'll be interesting which vaccines they prioritise for the coming roll out.
There is one trial being done by doctors that involves taking 3 different anticoagulants.
It's becoming clear that covid is more a blood issue.
TLDR:

any info on long covid cases now VS the original early strains, is there any good news on that front. Are you less likely to have long covid these days or is that wishful thinking
it is a really worry because it has obviously done some serious damage to people

There is no indication that there is a trend towards lower chances of long Covid with different strains. However, vaccination reduces your chances of getting it by about a third, and you are less likely to get long Covid from a second infection and less likely again from a third. But that still means your cumulative chance of getting long Covid rises with each infection, what happens to that over longer time periods - 5, 10, or 20 years - with the likelihood of repeated infections obviously remains to be seen.

So the Chinese plan is death by a thousand cuts.
Using blood thinners or the like is too impractical as you would need to take them for life to ensure they stopped clotting. On its own, too expensive and too dangerous.

Maybe we should all start taking an aspirin a daySo the Chinese plan is death by a thousand cuts.

I would hope if the blood thinners line of enquiry shows signs of working what'll happen is they then look into more focussed ways of dealing with it.So the Chinese plan is death by a thousand cuts.

A lot of advances in medicine have come from seeing signs that one thing works then trying to get a more precise and less harmful way of getting the same or better result for a specific condition.
It's an immune disorder essentially, that in some manifests as a vasculitis which can make the lining of blood vessels "sticky" and therefore prone to thrombosis. Treating patients with anticoagulants isn't that new - low dose aspirin, nattokinase, warfarin and other substances have been trialled for at least the last 2 years. I'm puzzled by some of the recent mainstream coverage of Covid "breakthroughs" - none of it is new. The real research has moved on leaps and bounds but isn't being covered.

It's unknown, not enough evidence has been collected to say either way. I have seen one study that suggested the risk of PASC ( post acute sequlae of Covid a.ka. long Covid ) is as high as 15%. Suffice to say the risk is still there and you don't want to catch Covid if you can avoid it. Not suggesting people should live their lives like hermits, but take care !

Could do worse.
Weird new symptom with this second infection....an actual quantifiable case of brain fog.
Been sick with Covid since Friday evening. Was just going to log on to work intranet and check the covid policy.....and my bit locker key is just gone.....kaput, no longer in my head. I've been tapping it in every day from memory for months.
Really weird. Do not feel good today.
