Yeah, it seems really fishy to me too. It makes me wonder whether the numbers for Covid19 deaths are going to be adjusted later when they have a better understanding of what the total list of side effects of infection are. A lot of the women in my family have a genetic clotting disorder, and this is giving me one more…

I’m a children’s librarian so I’m working with some folks who are tiny but sentient and born during the Trump administration. They’re too young for Gen Z even, I don’t know what to call em besides adorable.
