The Neurology and Neuropsychiatry of COVID-19

 You don't want any of this to happen so as soon as you are diagnosed get heparin going. I'm not medically trained but due to the research I'm reading I'm doing heparin.

Why I'm getting heparin.  Heparin binds to cells at a site adjacent to ACE2, the portal for SARS-CoV-2 infection, and "potently" blocks the virus, which could open up therapy options.

Anticoagulation Again Shown to Improve Survival in COVID-19 Patients;-Mortality risk about 50% lower

But this research below suggests not due to bleeding risks. I'll take that risk since I've been on warfarin, aspirin and had Lovenox shots. 

COVID-Related Strokes Especially Severe, Result in Worse Outcomes

The paragraph from there:

"On the other hand, in most patients with COVID-19 associated ischaemic stroke, very early anti-coagulation is probably not warranted as a strategy to prevent inpatient stroke recurrence, as this outcome is too uncommon to justify the increased risk of secondary haemorrhage," according to the group.(So you wait until the clots are severe before you do anti-coagulation. OK, not for me.)

You doctor better know the EXACT PROTOCOL to prevent these complications, including one case of locked-in-syndrome.
