      These are scattered media reports. “We don’t know yet if the encephalopathy is more severe with Covid-19 than with other viruses, but I can tell you we’ve been seeing quite a lot of it" That is probably the type of information we should be taking from these media reports. Given that there are over 14 million cases globally, we should be looking for patterns that impact tens of thousands, not edge cases that impact dozens or hundreds. With such a closely-studied and brand new disease, we are bound to find a lot of interesting and worrying cases. There are plenty of rare symptoms from other diseases too, we just don't talk about them much because they are not new and they are rare.
