One of my good friend's father got covid a few weeks ago. It put him in the hospital and for a while they thought he was a goner. But slowly he got better and was released to go back home. Less than a week later he felt very ill and returned to the hospital. Blood clots. He passed away a few days ago. Yes, he was old, 84 I think. The docs seemed pretty convinced that the clots were caused by complications from the virus. Maybe not, I dunno but that is what they said.

I'm sure that's what they put on the certificate; there are government payouts on the line.

One of the two things that clinicians look for in determining if a patient is really a COVID patient is disseminated intravascular coagulation, a condition of small clots in vessels throughout the body, and is believed to be the cause of organ shutdown. The other symptom is ground glass opacity of the pulmonary system.
I only say this in response to your post. There is no indication that this is a factor in Keyontae’s collapse.

The link between Covid and clotting and damage to the heart muscle is already firmly established. It’s not even debatable.
What is debatable is what struck down this young man. He was unconscious before his face hit the floor. Something has gone horribly wrong with his body. Let the facts emerge.

Guys, that wasn't the real Dak Prescott. The real Dak has more than 17 followers.
Good to know. I wondered why he would say something like that.

This was my first thought. OH shyt what hospital they taking him to. He’d be better off in a tent in the Congo. I was hoping they get him to Shands as quickly as possible

Ox is really allowing his politics to cause him to seem like a dumba$$ on this one.

It's politics that have made COVID more than it really is - the effing flu.
Let's leave the COVID/political nonsense here and get it back on topic.

No fing ****. May have been. May not have been. Can't rule it out. What we also can't rule out is that he's in critical condition. Stop with the idiotic opinions. I watched Gathers die on video right after it happened. All I want is for him to get through this ALIVE.

I’m concerned that we haven’t heard a single positive thing yet. Keep praying.

not only are the clots a complication of the virus, they're a primary thing that kills people.
it's also a primary thing that kills kids with valve problems or holes in the heart.
and cocaine users.

Educated family member postulation of just one of a multitude of possible reasons for his collapse.
Of course, without diagnostic info is impossible to know.
