This is science. It's a review of the clinical data currently available and discussion of the findings as they relate to neurological damage. This isn't an attempt to scare you, it's preliminary steps to understand a new virus. Coronaviruses aren't new, but this one is and there's still much to be understood about how it's spread, what effects it has on the body, and how it can be treated.
Normally this information wouldn't get this kind of exposure, but since we're in the middle of a global pandemic which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in just a few months data is being shared as quickly and as widely as possible. This paper is nothing but a review of what's already being observed in some people who've been infected and a recommendation for additional research in this area all of which appears be entirely appropriate.
It's not at all disingenuous to caution that the long term damage done by this new virus is unknown. Science isn't about guess work and assumptions, it's about the careful collection and analysis of data and right now we don't have any because not enough time has passed.
