University of Michigan issued the following announcement on Nov. 22.
New research by cardiologist Yogendra Kanthi and rheumatologist Yu Zuo, both assistant professors of internal medicine,

“Antibodies from patients with active COVID-19 infection created ... some of the worst clotting we’ve ever seen,” Kanthi said.
