THE NUMBER OF VIRUSES IN THE BRAIN IS A THOUSAND TIMES HIGHER
Covid-19 has very serious effects on the brain. The virus targets the central nervous system more than the lung. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, with about 160 million cases and 3.3 million deaths worldwide, scientists continue to reach surprising information about the virus.
New research has shown that Covid-19 is more of a multisystemic and even more weighted ‘brain disease’ than a respiratory disease. Once this virus is transmitted to the brain, it can affect all organ systems. Because the brain is a central processor that controls everything.
Researchers from the Department of Biology at Georgia State University found that the SARS-CoV-2 transmitted from the nasal regions of mice, successfully cleared their lungs; they found that the virus led to an attack that triggered severe diseases in the brain. Associate professor. Dr. ‘team determined that virus levels in the lungs of infected mice peaked 3 days after infection and then began to drop. 5, however. and 6. in days, a very high level of infectious new viruses (about 1000 times more than in other body parts) were found in the brains of all mice. The condition was said to occur at a time when serious illness symptoms, particularly difficult breathing and weakness, became apparent.

IT CAN HIDE IN THE BRAIN AND ACT AGAIN
This new study shows that the new coronavirus can actually lurk/sleep in the brain, where it can be activated again. The brain is one of those organs that viruses like to hide. Because there is no immune response. A virus is difficult to store in our lungs. It is much easier to store in our central nervous system. Symptoms of this are the loss of taste and smell commonly seen in people infected with Covid-19. This is an attack on the central nervous system through the brain.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MASK IS GREAT
The fact that a large percentage of well-behaved people have some form of brain dysfunction is important evidence of Covid-19’s association with the brain. Even if the Test result is negative, this does not mean that you have completely cleared the virus. Another piece of evidence is that some of the symptoms of ‘long Covid’ patients reappear even months later. Studies have shown that about 70 percent of the virus is transmitted through the nose, from there it can easily reach the brain. For this reason, it is very important to wear a mask and especially close our nose.
