While there is still much to learn about COVID-19, researchers at Georgia State University have studied why symptoms widely vary with those infected with the virus.

“(The) brain is one of the organs where viruses like to hide.

The virus can hide in the brain, remain dormant there and even show itself again.

It’s much easier for the virus to hide in your central nervous system,” said Kumar.

When the virus reaches the brain it can cause low level inflammation and even make people more susceptible to brain diseases like auto-immune disease and Parkinson’s.
