Here's the most recent article I found about it: https://news.northeastern.edu/2021/02/08/covid-19-can-affect-the-blood-its-spike-protein-may-be-the-culprit/ Here's a BBC Inside Health programme on blood clots that covers a fair bit including but not limited to covid, if you've got a half hour to spare. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000mr5s It's all about proportionality. If it was such a big problem, numbers-wise, then I'm pretty sure it would have showed up in all the early trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I look at the 'porkers' shopping here at ASDA they rarely fill the trolley with the healthy options. The local lass who died near me sank at least 6 pints a day - wasn't an alcoholic but just loved her beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happier diner Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 19 minutes ago, TerryFuchwit said: It can be. It generally isn't though? Correct. In simple terms, its a simple scientific fact that if you use more calories than you consume you will lose weight. Granted some people are predisposed that their bodies store excess as fat and some bodies don't. However no person can starve and get fat. Its physically impossible.

Wasn’t an alcoholic but drank 6 pints every so 42 pints a week or about 66 units minimum or c5 times guidelines for a female!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought blood clots were more likely perhaps to be linked to HOW the vaccine is being delivered? Such as air in the syringe from tired and sloppy vaccinators? With millions of vaccines being delivered, the chances are increasingly high on that one IMO? Germany just announced that it is halting AZ vaccinations over blood clotting concerns (Sky News). ETA. Following advice from its National Regulator pending investigation of above concerns.

Apple Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Screenshot 2021-03-05 at 16.58.25.png Carner Farrell report - Cardio vascular disease and COVID-19 Ben Richardson, Scott Bentley, Anna Fry & Nour Mohanna 05 March 2021 The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is huge in the UK. Approximately 7.6 million people in the UK are affected by CVD, which accounts for approximately 164,000 deaths per year. COVID-19 has substantially impacted CVD management across the board, including prevention, referrals, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. In particular, health checks have dropped by 97%, which is a significant indicator of a decrease in screening and prevention, and consequently, to the initiation of preventative medicines, especially statins. While the shift to virtual appointments has been celebrated, in-person primary care attendance has decreased by 42%, which has significant implications on procedures that traditionally need in-person presence, such as measuring blood pressure and performing pulse checks. CVD referrals have also dropped by 43% which means that patients are not being referred for further specialist opinion. Indeed, this disruption has affected CVD services across the pathway, with a 19% to 45% reduction in elective procedures, a 41% to 44% drop in elective imaging, a 53% decrease in emergency admissions, and 36% drop in cardiac rehabilitation group exercise.

Peter Layman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Just had my first jab down in Chester Street. Bit of a queue mainly because people are too stupid to follow simple advice. Staff down there friendly and helpful. 10/10 for their work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Can someone explain why the vaccination dashboard says that all the stock in hand is allocated to first doses and that they have 3,542 appointments booked in the next 7 days of which 2,309 are first doses. The rest must be second doses, so some of the stock must be allocated to those?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reporting the facts. as for your comment, Neither do I. But it’s 3 days closed, not 1. And I don’t think they’ll individually be working 7 days. They’ll have a rota and shift patterns and days off. Its stop start, again. On a £200k ( allegedly) facility 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
