Captain of cruise ship docked in Glasgow during covid says leaving city 'pulled at heart strings' 🚢
A cruise ship captain has shared the emotional moment it sailed away from Glasgow after spending 13 months docked in the city during the covid crisis.
In the time the three ships were berthed, Glaswegians struck up quite an affinity with the trio, with thousands lining the banks of the Clyde to welcome them in and out of the city. "Of course we were able to get down on the dock and walk about, but we weren’t allowed to go into the city. "I arrived in Glasgow at the end of November 2020, so unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to go out and see Glasgow and get the feel of the city.

Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on retrieved thrombi from COVID-19 patients - Journal of Hematology & OncologyThe pathophysiology of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy is complex and not fully understood. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP) may activate platelets and interact with fibrin(ogen). We aimed to investigate whether isolated SP can be present in clots retrieved in COVID-19 patients with acute ischemic stroke (by mechanical thrombectomy) and myocardial infarction. In this pilot study, we could detect SP, but not nucleocapsid protein, on platelets of COVID-19 patients’ thrombi. In addition, in all three COVID-19 thrombi analyzed for molecular biology, no SARS-CoV-2 RNA could be detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. These data could support the hypothesis that free SP, besides the whole virus, may be the trigger of platelet activation and clot formation in COVID-19.
