It's crazy they're even questioning relevance to the COVID if this is a new phenomenon. There's already been proof that this disease (Corona) causes vascular anomalies like micro-clots and other blood dyscrasias. There's no reason to not expect this to happen. Study of the issue might help them better determine why some are so sickened by the virus and others don't even know they have it.
