There's a big famine in east Africa from combined drought/locust swarm if that is what you are referring to

maybe? i'm seeing a few offhand references to an impending famine in the cool zone thread, and i assumed it was related to the rona for some reason. i dunno how international food supply chains work though

it does indeed reduce antithrombin (drastically in some cases), meaning heparin can’t form the complex needed to stop clotting: https://www.facs.org/-/media/files/covid19/umiami_study_uses_of_coagulopathy.ashx

“In addition to increased clotting events, there seems to be an increased incidence of antithrombin-III deficiency leading to an inability to therapeutically anticoagulate with heparin. A number of centers have switched to bivalirudin as their anticoagulant of choice while on these circuits.”

how the gently caress does this thing just evolve to break humans do effectively wtf
