A member asked:

Is the delta covid-19 causing as many blood clots as the previous variants?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The Delta variant is clearly very infectious, but the severity of the infection and involvement of vascular complications appears less than the original native infection. However, this type of virus does develop frequent mutations, and other variants are on the horizon. Hard to predict what comes next.
