Another condition that increases the chances of becoming severely ill from COVID-19 is sickle cell anemia. This condition makes your red blood cells become hard, shaped like the letter ‘C’, and very sticky, which will make it very hard for the oxygen to be transported around your body. These cells usually die early, which might contribute to painful blockages in the blood vessels.
Thalassemia is another blood disorder that could contribute to developing severe COVID symptoms, as your body won’t be able to produce enough hemoglobin, impacting the way your body can carry oxygen.
