How the Covid attacks the brain
#1
Information 

DECRYPTION - European researchers believe they have uncovered the mechanism that would explain certain neurological disorders.

At first, Covid was primarily considered a lung disease. The most severely affected patients did indeed suffer from acute respiratory syndrome as seen in influenza. 


But it quickly became clear that the virus was also causing neurological symptoms: anosmia, seizures, stroke, loss of consciousness, confusion, long-term cognitive difficulties ... To explain it, there is of course the violence of the disease and treatments inflicted on intensive care patients. But anosmia and cognitive "fog" are also very common in those with mild forms of the disease. 

So everything seems to indicate that somehow Sars-CoV-2 does much more than attack our lungs.

In Nature Neuroscience , a team united within a European consortium recently proposed a microvascular track: the virus would destroy cells lining the blood vessels of the brain, disrupting its blood supply.

Potential new treatment strategies for COVID-19: is there ...

An effective prophylactic medication to prevent viral entry has to contain, at least, either a protease inhibitor or a competitive virus ACE2-binding inhibitor. Using bromhexine at a dosage that selectively inhibits TMPRSS2 and, in so doing, inhibits TMPRSS2-specific viral entry is likely to be effective against SARS-CoV-2.

Later prevent the binding maybe even better.

Must also have treatment that can repair or limit damage cells.
