| 2020-07-09 |
| [JPost] - Over 40 coronavirus patients in the UK who were mildly affected or recovering from the virus have suffered complications ranging from brain inflammation and delirium to nerve damage and stroke, regardless of the severity of other COVID-19 symptoms, according to data published in the journal Brain on Wednesday, The Guardian reported. ...The neurological symptoms reported in the 43 patients included confusion, psychosis, seizures, hallucinations, delusions, necrosis, deteriorating vision and strokes, among other symptoms. ..."We’re seeing things in the way COVID-19 affects the brain that we haven’t seen before with other viruses," said Michael Zandi, a senior author on the study and a consultant at University College London’s Institute of Neurology and UCL Hospitals NHS foundation trust, according to The Guardian. |

| #3 I suspect there will be concern that complications like this could result from a vaccine as well - many of the strange things about COVID seem related to our immune response rather than to the virus itself. |

| #2 You weren't supposed to test the doctors, only the patients. |

| #1 Just 40? Seems another case of search more, find more. Have they done a correlation with those in hospital for non-covid causes? If not then it's worth next to nothing. |
