A preliminary study of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 has found the disease can damage the brain, causing complications such as stroke, inflammation, psychosis and dementia-like symptoms in some severe cases.

The findings are the first detailed look at a range of neurological complications of COVID-19, the researchers said, and underline a need for larger studies to find the mechanisms behind them and assist the search for treatments.

The study, published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal on Thursday, looked in detail at 125 cases from across the UK. Co-lead researcher Benedict Michael, from Liverpool University, said it was important to note that it focused on severe cases. The most common brain complication seen was stroke, which was reported in 77 of 125 patients. Of these, most were in patients over 60, and most were caused by a blood clot in the brain, known as an ischaemic stroke.

joncoopertweets kkelland Donny s had Covid for years. Therefore it could be Covid-03 , for instance.

MichaelSholler2 kkelland Sounds like Trump had COVID-19 and they r covering it up.

kkelland Looking at these symptoms, does anyone think that Trump already had it?

kkelland 124,425 deaths (26% of total world), 2,422,312 cases (26% of total world). Covid growing exponentially. Only 8.6% tested. Still no national plan. 45 million unemployed. realdonaldtrump FAILED AMERICA trumpownseverydeath trumpgenocide

China kkelland US’ new cases per day reached all time high at 40k. Millions ppl lost jobs. Bankruptcy cases are surging. Fed are buying junk bonds and printing money like crazy. and Trump say it’s beautiful, we did a great job!

kkelland To all the people who think this is just fear mongering: How 'bout you try taking the admirable skepticism you have for Science and apply it to the ridiculous stream of pernicious nonsense pouring out of Trump's face?

kkelland Well at least we now know why everything Biden says is a word salad . . .

kkelland So THAT'S why Trump is spreading COVID-19! He wants more people mentally fucked up enough to buy his bullshit.

kkelland Si duda esto expone la importancia de la disciplina y el compromiso Individual de evitar a toda costa el contraer el virus. ¡La prevención siempre será la solución más económica! La lectura de notas como estas, ponen de manifiesto que debemos aprender y conocer al covid19. 🇲🇽♥️👊

kkelland And until now, there’s no cure 😑 I don’t know what happened to science , Doctors all over the world 😑

kkelland And diarrhea, stomach pain, tumors, pimples, nose bleed, hair loss, cramps, double vision, blindness, head aches, tooth decay, bloating, gas, warts, rash, sun burn, and hiccups.

kkelland Here’s the proof

kkelland So can Communism

kkelland that's why it's severe

kkelland voi siete completamente pazzi

kkelland Is that what Libtards are suffering from?

kkelland Laboratory’s are learning every month new things about the coronavirus, yet they say we can expect a vaccine within a year? They don’t even know how to handle this.

kkelland Uh oh - it’s green now

kkelland Are the fukers mutating this shit cause the first strain didn’t effect enough people

kkelland Getting hit by a bus sux too

kkelland Dementia like symptoms ? Like in The Walking Dead ? 😱

kkelland Trump entrenched in failed strategy as virus surges CNN

kkelland From Flu like to Aids like. What happen to science?

kkelland

So, Trump must of had it!

glory of the Creator .

What damages the mind is media yapping about it 24 hours a day.

What of the 'active' carriers. They can infect others..... but maybe in future can they also have these complications?

Uk has a living proof!

i think that's as good an explanation as any for the brain damage being exhibited by almost every mainstream propaganda reporter and politician.

COVID-19 is a hoax.

So its been around longer than this year then, how else can the study explain Trump supporters

Maybe it's the masks causing a lack of oxygen in the brain

oh, madness!

SCWatt So Trump must be the super spreader?

A really nasty virus from Wuhan.

So it’s been in America for years undetected. It just mutated in ‘19 and went on a world tour. 🚧🇺🇸🚧

So the president had to be infected much earlier then previously imagined.

moar like sever liberalism can damage the brain!!!! LOL
