Indonesia - Jones Ginting suffering from brain infection

Did you read my references though. It might not be so rare..,
A patient may survive the initial cytokine storm only to be mentally impaired for life.
First a massive death rate then a major impairment of the survivors.
Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound as though I was writing off the real neurological risks or their prevalence.
However, when I first read about Jones Ginting suffering from CNS complications, my own spirits sagged, as widespread CNS complications would make arresting the cytokine storm a mute point.
We agree, I think, that CNS complications are more common than previously thought, but that arresting the cytokine storm is still a worthy and primary goal.
Reducing viral load and enhancing phagocytosis of viruses while arresting cytokine storm/ARDS will go a long way towards preventing later CNS complications, no?
Re: Indonesia - Jones Ginting suffering from brain infection
Understanding the cascade is one more critical piece of the puzzle. Every aspect of the disease needs to be addressed. Your chosen task is a key piece. And unfortunately, every single one of us at one time or another, has flagged when an unknown factor suddenly cropped up. We are all standing on the sidelines cheering for you.
Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.
Avatar is a painting by Alan Pollack, titled, "Plague". I'm sure it was an accident that the plague girl happened to look almost like my twin.
Thank you,

One part of the public message that needs further exposure is that this disease may present as respiratory, GI, or neurotropic. What is the human equivalent of swimming in circles?
