The virus may directly affect the nervous systems of some patients during both its acute phase and post-infection.
Also, the stress of the pandemic and its economic fallout is likely already leading to spikes in anxiety among the general public.
Past influenza pandemics have been closely linked to reported spikes in brain damage, mood changes, or muscular dysfunction.
University of California San Diego researchers hope that doctors keep a close eye on the brain health of covid-19 patients moving forward.

Now, UPI reports some influenza strains may trigger the same over-active immune system responses as COVID-19.
What's more, a new analysis suggests that same overactive response may be determined by how the body metabolizes sugar.
If true, the findings add to the similarities between the two highly contagious and sometimes life-threatening viruses.
Both are highly contagious and share many of the same basic symptoms, including cough, fever, and shortness of breath.
Those with underlying health conditions, including diabetes, are at higher risk for becoming seriously ill or dying from COVID-19.

- If you're waiting on that stimulus check to make ends meet, Business Insider has a warning.
According to a a report from the Prospect, coronavirus relief checks can be seized by your bank and used to pay off debts or fees, if they are owed.
Although lawmakers exempted the checks from being used to pay off federal or state agency related debts, that does not exclude private debt collection.
Based on audio cited in The Prospect's report, the U.S. Treasury Department does not dispute that banks can grab the payments.
A Treasury Department official explained "There's nothing in the law that precludes that action."
The stimulus checks are already being sent to Americans through direct deposit.
The government approved giving about $1,200 to most Americans, depending on their income.
