So they've observed which coronavirus patients have various disorders and conditions, and then speculate that coronavirus may be the cause.

The headline says coronavirus 'may be directly attacking the brain' but there is literally no evidence for that.

Would be nice to see the scientific articles and see if they have any substance. Couldn't find a link to the review they're discussing.

I understand the skepticism around this, but I legit had Lyme Disease for five years and the wide variety of ailments and weird symptoms that Covid-19 is showing are very similar to all of the crap I suffered from with Lyme (minus the respiratory stuff). Even the seemingly insane and seemingly ridiculous "Covid toes" was something that came up with Lyme Disease because it attacks various systems in your body OVER TIME. People keep trying to say Covid-19 causes a respiratory illness, and then only that it causes a vascular system illness, then only that it causes a cardiovascular illness, now they're going to say it only causes a neurological illness...yet maybe they should start considering it is systemic in a lot of patients.

I just sometimes wonder if the medical field really is stupid as fuck, I keep hoping it isn't, but this is totally obvious to me after what I've dealt with and I'm not a damn doctor.
