- COVID-19 patients often present neurological problems, such as anosmia, headache, dysgeusia altered mental status (AMS), Guillen-Barre Syndrome, or ischemic stroke. 
- Researchers analyzed the medical records of COVID-19 patients in Louisiana, in which 80% of the sample was African American, to assess neurological complications from COVID-19.  It was found that 14% of the sample presented with a neurological chief complaint at presentation, with the most common complaints being either AMS, syncope, or headache.  Upon hospitalization, 38% of the sample had a neurological complication, with AMS being the most common complication present.

Case Study to Show Effects

1. In this case study, meningoencephalitis was seen as a major clinical manifestation of COVID-19. In this report, a person with a history of type-2 diabetes presented with a low-grade fever of 100.5 ° F, headache, stiff neck, photophobia, seizure without respiratory distress. Anti-epileptic therapy was started for the management of viral meningitis.                                                                                                                                                        2. The localization of the virus in brain tissues was studied in mice infected with SARS-CoV34 and MERS-CoV13

Results:
1. The clinical progression demonstrated rapid clinical deterioration with disorientation and hallucinations. SARS-CoV-2 detection tests were positive, and she was treated with hydroxychloroquine with improvement in symptoms during a clinical course of 5 days following admission to hospital. In a second case, a young man in his twenties presented total anosmia and ageusia with high suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection.                                                                                  
2. As cardio-respiratory impariments cause reflect brainstem dysfunction, it may be repsonsible for ARDS as it is a frequent cause of COVID-19. - Mouse hepatitis virus, porcine hemagglutinating encephalitis virus, feline CoV - Virus can cross epithelal cells

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2). The outbreak was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The World Health Organization declared the pandemic on March 11th

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lot of implications on policy decisions and the political spheres in many countries and regions 

Politics, Policy and the COVID-19 pandemic

How the pandemic has affected global, national and local economies

Economic impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

There are worldwide curfews, quarantines, and similar restrictions (variously described as stay-at-home orders, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns or lockdowns) related to the COVID-19 pandemic and established to prevent further spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19

COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns

Health authorities in China contacted the World Health Organization (WHO) that there was a cluster of viral pneumonia cases of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei. By January 30th, the WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At the time there were 7,818 cases confirmed globally, affecting 19 countries in five WHO regions.

Neurological impacts and neuroscience (neurobiology) of COVID-19

Numerous organizations such as Johns Hopkins University, IBM, and Tableau have released interactive databases to track real-time Covid-19 statistics. Data Scientists all around are working closely with medical professionals and utilizing this data in order to help combat the virus.

Using Data Science to understand COVID-19

Altered human activity as a result of COVID-19 produced various effects on the environment, both positive and negative. These effects often correlated with lockdown periods and included variations in types of manmade pollutants. While some research indicates these effects are due to natural fluctuations and cannot be attributed to the pandemic, understanding how human activity may or may not impact the environment is important for predicting future environmental health. 

COVID-19 Environmental Effects

The COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected how students were educated. Notable classes moved to an online format and schools adopted many policies to compensate (e.g., grading, testing, etc.)

How health information technology is being used to fight COVID-19

Health Information Technology and COVID-19

The media portrayal of older adults as “frail” and “difficult” and the younger population to be immune to the virus to a large degree perpetuated ageism. The intergenerational division was also furthered by the need for younger adults to avoid or isolate when in proximity to older people to avoid spreading the virus to the more vulnerable. Essentially, this placed the burden to protect the geriatric members of society on the younger population and caused a change in generational dynamics.

COVID-19 and Ageism

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scarce medical resources force healthcare systems under crisis standards to make difficult decisions regarding triage, allocation, and reallocation. These decisions must be guided by ethical principles and should not be made by individual bedside clinicians. Additionally, healthcare workers must maintain transparency, clear communication, and a dedication to providing the highest quality of care to patients, including palliative care.
