Coronavirus 'may cause brain damage' as dangerous swelling found in 'confused' patients
Doctors in the US as well as Italy and China have all reported neurological conditions in multiple coronavirus patients, with one man having lost the ability to speak
More confirmation of what some here have suspected for a while.
There are several articles and reports of the Spanish Flu causing brain swelling, loss of smell and taste, loss of colour due to pressure on the optic nerve and a Parkinson-like disease as an after affect. It appears viruses have the ability to alter the brain and cause neurological issues.

Nope, not a doctor, and I don’t own a lab coat.
How about you?
Nope. That's why I'm not making diagnoses. Why are you?
It’s seem much closer to an allergic reaction,

There was some talk about vaccines early on.... probably thread one. Mostly wondering if people who had been vaccinated for SAARS were getting hit harder. This IS a conspiracy site but mostly these COVID threads have steered away from any kind of conspiracy thought. I get what you're saying though.
DALLAS — According to Dallas County Health and Human Services, 28% of COVID-19 patients who have required hospitalization in Dallas County are diabetic.
While the state of Texas says it does not yet have data to provide trends showing diabetes and coronavirus complications, Louisiana does.
Data released by the state health department on Monday shows 40% of Louisiana patients who died from COVID-19 had diabetes.
CDC data reveals the same pattern: diabetics have a higher rate of hospitalization and ICU admittance than COVID-19 patients with any other chronic health condition.

When all your acquaintances who have the flue shot then get sicker than they have been for a while, and swear never to have another one. It does get you thinking, then when visiting the Doc he bullies you into getting a shot, and you seem to have a pain that lasts for weeks around the site of the injection. You think to yourself , I went to the doc to get cured not to be made sicker. That was years back, then I read a good article that said after the shot your immune system is compromised for a couple of weeks while you build up antibodies, then the shot you got might not be the one for the flue going around, but if you have the shot it guarantees that you will pick up something. Just another mass money making scam?

Here is what we need to do. Update 4-3-20
We have to use our brain.. many of us are being self contained in our homes, we have politicians now telling us what we need to do.. we have nyc, refusing recessitation for those who have heart attacks and no pulse.
We also have our American media, sensationalizing the news to apply fear to keep us in our homes etc.
we also have to understand this virus is effecting many people,and it will change some people’s ideology and politics. When we settle this I am sure we may focus on China again, and I think there will be some out rage. In the end our federal government and state government failed us, this pandemic was made known to us in January, they did not do anything to get ready. Remember these people come voting time. I have not even mention the free falling economy 10 million plus unemployed with 75% of them living pay check to pay check. Literally life as an American, is gonna change no helping that.
Stay safe love you all. Keep your chin up.
👍 much love to nurses and doctors that stumble in here thank you. They do it because it’s their duty and they care about us. Thank you again.

I bet they get shots which are different than the cheap stuff they use on the general population.
