> There's also this rather disquieting anecdote used as evidence of a link to the nervous system:
> According to the complaints of a survivor, the medical graduate student (24 years old) from Wuhan University, she must stay awake and breathe consciously and actively during the intensive care. She said that if she fell asleep, she might die because she had lost her natural breath.
Would that explain people collapsing suddenly on the streets as seen in Wuhan and Iran?
- Enginerrrd 7y agoNo, I think that'd be very unlikely because it'd be a late symptom after substantial damage has been done. Compared to the frequency of syncopal episodes I'd expect in people sick with any other cold or flu, I think it's overwhelmingly more likely to be from other causes. And if it actually were causing neurological damage, I'd expect still more causes like seizures and the like.
