Covid-19 may cause brain damage even with light symptoms

Newest studies of British doctors have found that Covid-19 may cause permanent brain damage, even with if the person who fell ill with it only experienced light symptoms.

The study has shown that Covid-19 survivors also are more likely to suffer from strokes, brain anyeurisms, menigitis, nerve damage, spontaneous fevers and psychotic breakdowns.

31 out of 42 people from the subject group of the study (covid-19 survivors) were diagnosed with brain related illnesses weeks after surviving covid.

You mean more brain damage than it causes without even having the virus? :fatcat:

This is very scary though. I've been saying some articles lately about Italian scientist saying that the virus is very dangerous for many organs besides the lungs too.

no asymptomic means, you have the virus, but don't suffer from any symptoms at all.. you could feel fine, and still be infected, and it could still wreak havoc in your body

But significantly worse with the more lethal viruses, e.g. from one of these articles:

"Looking into the literature, Smeyne found more hints of influenza’s ability to damage the brain. One of the earliest links between influenza and neural dysfunction was a correlation between the 1918 Spanish flu, caused by a subtype called H1N1, and an epidemic of Parkinson’s a few decades later. In the 1940s and early 1950s, diagnoses of the neurodegenerative disease appeared to increase abruptly, from 1–2 percent of the US population to 2.5–3 percent, then fell back down to 1–2 percent, Smeyne says. “Basically, 50 percent more people in those years got Parkinson’s.”"

 

There seem to be differences in the severity of brain damage caused by different viruses, where more dangerous viruses (e.g. Covid-19) are likely to cause much more severe brain damage than your average flu. Even if all viruses cause some permanent damage, this damage is not equal.

The first part was me saying that I'm already suffering enough mental damage without even having the virus :selena:

Maybe. It depends if covid is "more dangerous" just because it is new.

The discourse and arguments surrounding Covid-19 is definitely causing me brain damage, is that what they mean?

We don't fully know what it does to a person who lives through it, It takes time.

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

To me, this is what makes COVID-19 so scary to me. What are the long term effects it will have on people who survive initially having the virus? Are we going to see a uptick in heart disease or lung damages (for example) in 10-20 years from the people who've had it? The damage this virus has done will be around for decades.

Stay home guys, seriously, if ur able to and can afford to stay home of course, we all don't have the luxury to do that. But if you can, please stay home as much as you can
