Sharing some resources about #postCOVID risk. I have absolutely relied on #MedicalTwitter/#MedTwitter and #ScienceTwitter during this pandemic — which, I reiterate, is not over. Sharing here so I can still find this after the #twitpocalypse (#twitastrophy?). Any suggestions about who to follow here greatly appreciated. Where do I find #MedicalMastodon?

#COVID does have consequences for kids: #bloodclots #cardiovascular disease, #kidney disease.
More on #covid and #clots. I think this is the heart of most #postCOVID issues, along with #immuneimpairment and #viralreservoir.
Antiphospholipid antibodies activity may help explain hypercoagulation associated with late stages of Covid-19 and long-haul disease. Blood samples from nearly 250 individuals hospitalized for Covid-19 found that these “rouge” antibodies activate endothelial cells, risking widespread blood clots.
It’s the clotting.
