No more than old or sedentary people I don't think. The whole "airplanes cause DVTs" thing was a misinterpretation of the facts. Transcontinental flights in coach, yes. Big DVT risk. Two hour flights, not so much.

Almost every country is pretty close to each other except all of Africa, which is next to zero. That could just be because it's impossible to get medicine into most of that shithole without a warlord stealing it though.

I'm 50/50. After being told over and over by the establishment that I'm plague-ridden scum who deserves to die for not getting the vax, I'm having a very hard time caring.

Almost all pathological clots form in the legs. The legs are big, highly vascularized, and have relatively large veins that lend themselves to the formation of larger clots. As for lungs, all blood in your body goes through your lungs every minute. It's mostly just probability. Your heart gets about the same amount of traffic, but it's large enough that any clot that forms outside of it can generally get through it without causing much of an issue.

DVTs can be diagnosed once they get big enough: they cause swelling and redness in the affected area due to blood not draining properly. However, a DVT that's too small to cause symptoms is still big enough to kill you, so it's less about noticing symptoms and more about not doing things that give you DVTs in the first place. Exercise, don't smoke, stay in shape, and don't take experimental drugs that were rushed out without first going through proper clinical trials.
