Post-acute viral infections are not new (note that I use 'post-acute,' not 'postviral' as viral persistence can occur). Yet, society & medical community continue to dismiss millions suffering with #LongCovid and other similar conditions. An excellent text […]

Coronaviruses can access the brain using several different mechanisms that most viruses cannot A: Viral infection of peripheral nerves (like olfactory bulb) B: Damage of infected endothelial cells C: Hijacking immune cells D: Viral opening of tight junctions Some studies show that some flu strains can use one or other mechanisms, and brain invasion can happen, but it is a weaker and rarer event. Why coronavirus are so dangerous to the brain?
