1/On clotting
We have two immune systems. One, called the "innate" immune system we inherited from our reptile ancestors
The other, called the "adaptive" immune system is where things like antibodies and immunity (as in I got chickenpox and am now immune) comes from
Clotting is a function of the innate immune system. It's one of its "tools"
Other tools of the innate immune system are:
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Sneezing
* Coughing
* Scarring
* Fever
2/Understand that the innate system doesn't have a memory, unlike the adaptive system
But it is the front line.
It's also extremely effective. Our skin is an integral part of the innate immune system and blocks most bad stuff from ever even having a chance of getting inside our bodies
But sometimes stuff slips past the skin, like when you don't wear a mask.
When that happens, the innate system detects that there is something wrong
But it doesn't know what is wrong or even where it is
3/It just knows that the call is coming from inside the house
Did you get cut? Is there a virus? A bacteria? Break a bone?
Don't know
So the innate system reacts with every tool it has
It makes you shit your pants, in case it's in your gut
It makes you vomit, in case it's in your stomach
It makes you cough and sneeze, in case it's in your lungs
It produces scar tissue in case your skin is torn
It makes your blood clot, in case you are bleeding
It's an "all hands on deck" response
4/Take away that ANY infection can be expected to produce blood clotting, which can lead to all kinds of problems
And that people dying of clotting from a SARS2 infection is "normal"
