[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happened during the Great influenza, but they didn't discover the link with viral Parkinson's until much later. Now researchers know to look out for this sort of thing. (Source: my great grandmother had Parkinson's that was attributed to her bout of influenza during 1918.)

Epidemiologists have determined that Spanish Influenza survivors have a 2-3x higher risk of developing Parkinson's Disease, now termed Viral Parkinsonism, compared to those who did not come into contact with the virus.

Given the recent paper by Jang et al. on “A Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Influenza Virus” which reported a novel animal model of parkinsonism, we aimed to perform a complete historical review of the 20th and 21st century literature on parkinsonism and neurological manifestations of influenza.

Not scare tactics, this is basically common knowledge..[/quote]

The studies on Parkinson's disease and relationship to influenza, avian flu, Hep C etc are pretty compelling.  My sister is a scientist in the UK and says, other than risk of death based on any underlying conditions and personal vulnerability, this is the main reason you should avoid COVID.  The neurological effects, anosmia, etc. seem to be key indicators of such a connection, which are not seen with other common corona viruses.    I once had a strep throat diagnosis which I treated immediately with antibiotics, but ultimately developed into acute rheumatic disease--so i know first hand that a common illness can have surprising and long term effects well after the initial symptoms resolve.
