Yep - it was clear from the beginning that hospitalized patients throw a ton of clots, so it's been in the guidelines since 2020 to treat anyone presenting with Covid symptoms with prophylactic thinners;

> Hospitalized nonpregnant adults with COVID-19 should receive prophylactic dose anticoagulation (AIII) (see the recommendations for pregnant individuals below). Anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy should not be used to prevent arterial thrombosis outside of the usual standard of care for patients without COVID-19 (AIII).

From what I understand, there doesn't seem to be much benefit for overall treatment of the disease (e.g. sick people's lungs don't get better more quickly) but it's preventing tons of PEs and strokes so that's obviously very valuable.

When I have been in hospital (UK) I was given heparin anyway this seems to be SOP for the NHS

I was thinking more like the affect of thinners already in use on a person (such as myself) if they get the rona, and how it affects disease progression.

Well I am on aspirin and when I got Covid in october (whilst in hospital for something else) my case was rather mild
