Will the corona epidemic lead to a dramatic increase in people with brain dysfunction? Such a warning is laid out in the Brain Brain Research Journal, and is based on very alarming results that have been gathered by researchers at the University College London and which are joined by evidence and concerned reporting from the University's Neurology Institute.

Patients with mild symptoms reportedly returned home and then developed a host of brain injuries that included strokes, neuronal damage, delirium effects, Gileen-Barre syndrome, sclerosis (called ADEM) and other brain infections.

It should be noted that a similar phenomenon occurred in the 1920s after the severe Spanish influenza epidemic that erupted in 1918. Even then, a few years after the epidemic, there was a very large outbreak of meningitis called lethargica in many recoverers.

"My concern is that we currently have at least 10 million recoverers who may have cognitive problems that impair their ability to work or perform day-to-day activities," says Adrian Owen, a University of Western Ontario neurology expert at Reuters.

Even at the University College London at the Institute of Brain Effects are very concerned about the results. Researcher Ross Patterson, one of the admonitioners for the onset of ADEM inflammation, says that "We have seen adults in the past perhaps once a month. This is a common illness in children. But since the onset of corona we have had this case at least once a week."

"In fact, the corona is a new disease and we don't know enough about its implications for the brain." The researcher noted that "a long line of psychiatric tests for recoverers is required to see the percentage of casualties and doctors should be alerted to this possibility."

HNS senior medical officer Michael Zandy also said: "We have a concern that the corona causes a more severe version of multiple sclerosis, so it should be updated to check every patient because there are similarities between pneumonia and sclerosis in terms of human behavior. It is important that some patients can be cured, although some will remain injured. "
