New Symptoms of COVID-19. Why is it causing Racial Discrimination?

Every single day, we continue to get stagnated with millions of news about COVID-19. Mysteries tend to crumble as well as to make up every day. More studies lead to more discoveries.

Recent autopsies in different individuals around the globe have demonstrated the existence in blood clots in individuals. Such clots have been identified within the lungs because the infection is a major variant of the SARS Virus which significantly affects the respiratory system.

Studies have also reported the occurrence of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE). This leads in the development of clots in the limbs. Blood clotting is often known to play a significant part in triggering the deaths of multiple individuals related to the disease. Skin rashes are often a major indication of the disease. These rashes tend to resemble a frostbite.

Why COVID-19 causes blood clots?

Well, the disease have been reported to a major inflammatory disease and hence the occurrence of rashes is well established. Inflammation does bring about damage to the walls and lumen of the blood vessels. Damaging any part in our body contributes to the forming in clots, which is why clotting is an inevitable process in this disorder. These clots intensify the effects of a disorder that induces increased trouble in breathing and discomfort in various areas of the body. As a consequence, such clots will lead the disease to a significant benchmark.


How are the clots being treated?

Patients are quickly led to the ICU, where they are provided with a large dose of blood thinners. Physicians also said that the usage of blood thinners is growing day by day.



Why will COVID-19 affect the Caucasian (European) population the most?

Many experiments have been performed and it has been found that Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is heavily affected by race and colour. The medical and genetic reason for this remains unclear. Afro-Americans are most likely to be diagnosed with deep venous clots and pulmonary clots compared to other races. In comparison, reports have found that the prevalence of VTE differs significantly across specific racial groups, with Asian communities claiming to have the lowest occurrence relative to White, Latino, African American or Pacific Islander communities.

People suffering from Type I Diabetes have been found to have a strong propensity to thrombosis. Asians have many genetic causes linked with a lower risk of infection with VTE. Genetic and environmental influences are the main influencers of VTE. Studies of the European population have demonstrated that the disorder is 60 per cent inheritable.

People suffering from can have a high risk of developing the disease.

Measures to be undertaken to prevent such scenarios.


People are advised to move their bodies to help transport blood around the body. Doing yoga or other types of exercise during this time will help the body regulate blood circulation. Even brisk walking or pacing down your home can help prevent blood clots. This should be aligned with the self-isolation guidelines and the correct intake of healthy nutrients.
