A new study has found evidence supporting a link between 'COVID toes' -- bluish-red or purple lesions that can appear on the feet and hands of children and young adults -- and the novel coronavirus.

The study looked at different skin changes in 375 patients with COVID‐19 infections. In the majority of cases, the affected individual tested negative with traditional COVID-19 tests involving throat swabs and antibody measurements.

According to the study, the skin lesions may be caused by small blood clots forming in veins not normally affected by critical illnesses. "Anything that can cause a sort of a lesion on your toe is usually traumatic. What this actually looks the most like is the similar looking lesions in the toes that are typically due to exposure to cold temperatures," Lautenbach said in a phone interview.

Dermatology associations in the United States, France and Spain have issued similar alerts while the World Health Organization added skin rashes and discolouration to its list of known symptoms of COVID-19 in May.

The boomers are looking for any excuse to inject the youth with a vak-sin

Maybe change your socks and new shoes would help along with some cleaning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had a covid-coffee for breakfast, after I cooked up some covid-eggs and covid-toast. Later on I’m going to stretch my covid-legs and go for a covid-walk down my road; might have to massage my covid-feet afterwards.

Make it mandatory for people to wear socks.

Nail fungus has been around long before COVID-19 so people had better check well before starting to panic.
