Iran sees one COVID-19 death every four minutes
--- Quote ---
> Iran is recording one death from COVID-19 every four minutes
according to health authorities. It is the worst-hit country in
the Middle East and is now going through its third wave of the
virus. More than 32,000 people have died so far from COVID-19.

Brain Scans Show a Whole Spectrum of COVID-19 Abnormalities We
Can't Fully Explain
--- Quote ---
> Among the many serious symptoms of COVID-19, the strange
neurological effects experienced by many patients count as
perhaps the most mysterious.
>
> A sudden loss of smell and taste was one of the first unusual
symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients, but stroke, seizures,
and swelling of the brain (called encephalitis) have all been
described.
>
> Some patients diagnosed with COVID-19 also experience
confusion, delirium, dizziness, and have difficulty
concentrating, according to case reports and reviews.
>
> For several months, doctors have been relentlessly trying to
understand this disease, and its many manifestations that seem
to affect the brain in ways we can't fully explain.
>
> To synthesise some of the rapidly accumulating data, two
neurologists have now conducted a review of research exploring
how COVID-19 disturbs patterns of normal brain function, which
can be measured by an EEG.
>
> An EEG, short for electroencephalogram, records electrical
activity in different parts of a person's brain, typically by
using electrodes placed on their scalp.
>
> In their review, the researchers collated data on nearly 620
COVID-positive patients from 84 studies, published in
peer-reviewed journals and pre-print servers, where the EEG
waveform data were available to analyse.
>
> Looking at EEG results could indicate some form of
COVID-related encephalopathy in these patients – signs of
impairment or disturbance to brain function.
>
> Approximately two-thirds of the patients in the studies were
male, and the median age was 61 years old. Some people also had
a pre-existing condition, such as dementia, that could alter an
EEG reading, which the researchers considered when evaluating
their test results.
>
> Among the 420 patients where the basis for ordering an EEG was
recorded, the most common reason was an altered mental state:
close to two-thirds of the patients studied had experienced some
delirium, coma, or confusion.
>
> Around 30 percent of patients had had a seizure-like event,
which prompted their doctor to order an EEG, while a handful of
patients had speech issues. Others experienced a sudden cardiac
arrest, which could have interrupted blood flow to the brain.
>
> The patients' EEG scans showed a whole spectrum of
abnormalities in brain activity, including some rhythmic
patterns and epileptic-like spikes in activity. The most common
abnormality noted was diffuse slowing, which is an overall
slowing of brain waves that indicates a general dysfunction in
brain activity.
>
> In the case of COVID, this impairment could be the result of
widespread inflammation, as the body mounts its immune response,
or possibly reduced blood flow to the brain, if the heart and
lungs are weak.
>
> As for localised effects, a third of all abnormalities
detected were detected in the frontal lobe, the part of the
brain which handles executive thinking tasks, such as logical
reasoning and decision-making. The frontal lobe also helps us to
regulate our emotions, control our behaviour, and is involved in
learning and attention.

England to enter month-long lockdown
--- Quote ---
> As the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK passes one million,
Prime Minister #BorisJohnson has announced a month-long
nationwide #lockdown in England with the vote going to
parliament next week. The decision for a second lockdown comes
after worrying projections about the National Health Service's
ability to cope with 50,000 new cases a day. Elsewhere in
Europe, Spain and France have brought back similar restrictions.
