A mysterious blood-clotting complication is killing coronavirus patients

While looking into clotting came across Haiduts post Lungs Are A Blood-making Organ pertinent?

Thank you for linking to that article. It is really interesting and the first I had read of it.

Ray talks about this in the new interview. Some also discuss Prevotella doing this.

Is the clotting because of the virus’s interaction ace2?

Background
The fibrinolytic system plays an important role in degrading fibrin-rich thrombi and in vascular and tissue remodeling. Elevated levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) can reduce the efficiency of the endogenous fibrinolytic system. Angiotensin (Ang) has been shown to regulate PAI-1 expression via the Ang type 1 (AT1) receptor in some tissues and via the AT4 receptor in cultured endothelium. The purpose of this study was to examine the tissue-specific pattern of PAI-1 expression in response to infusion of Ang II in vivo.
Conclusions
We conclude that in the rat, PAI-1 is induced in a variety of tissues by Ang II directly through the AT1 receptor, independent of its effects on blood pressure.
