There are people who are dying from blood clots without getting admitted to the hospital, and people who are getting released from the hospital and then dying from blood clots later. And we don’t know how many months or years after exposure you remain at risk.

This. And many (maybe most) of those deaths could be prevented with the right prophylactic treatment.

To be honest a study was posted here on HN (I can't find the link at the moment) where retrospectively (lots of confounding factors etc., but 2000-ish people studied) the mortality was about halved when anticoagulants were used.

At the same time the risk of hemorraging events was the same as the non-anticoagulant group.
