I was thinking of it as a preventative for catching it. The blood clots part makes sense. While I was in the clinic they did a CT scan to check for a blood in the lungs. That’s where they saw the “ground glass” pneumonia in both lungs.
Side note: the x-ray showed clear lungs, but the CT scan showed the problem. This is the second time in 12 months that an X-ray showed nothing, but a CT scan revealed a problem that needs treatment. Why are we still using x-rays for all lung issues? Why make people pay for two tests and get exposed to radiation when the first test is so unreliable that a second has to be ordered?
I think part of the problem is that some things work IF they are done in the first days of infection. By the time people KNOW they are sick, it is too late. By taking a baby aspirin daily, you are addressing the problem even if you haven’t developed raging symptoms.
Don’t think it prevents catching it, but I also think we have truly screwed the pooch by focusing almost entirely on PREVENTING it versus early and effective TREATMENT. Generic enteric coated aspirin is a penny a day.
Not looking at things like quercetin or aspirin or vitamins (D, C?) or zinc - or all of them - has been a huge failing of the medical establishment.
