The points below list major concerns surrounding speculation of SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasion:

• Assessing the ability for SARS-CoV-2 to infect human neurons (in the bulb or elsewhere) will ultimately require detailed analysis of autopsy tissue, studies of which do not yet exist.
• Many of the observed neurological consequences of COVID-19 (like altered consciousness and stroke) can in principle be explained by a primary asculopathy and hypercoagulability or by a secondary deficit in brain perfusion caused by elevated cytokines, rather than by direct viral damage
