Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) are asking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to evaluate the risk of strokes in young adult to middle-aged CCP virus cases.
“Recent news reports have documented an increased prevalence of stroke among younger and middle-aged COVID-19 patients in hospitals and communities across the country. These reports have indicated that—potentially due to blood clots caused by the virus—many COVID19 patients under the age of 50 are suffering from the deadliest type of stroke that impacts movement, speech, and decision-making,” wrote the two lawmakers in a letter (pdf) to Dr. Redfield.
