Excess mortality due to COVID-19 in Germany
SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted by droplets and likely aerosols. The median incubation period is about 5-6 days (range 1-14 days)1 and the median age at confirmed infection in Germany is 49 years. Typical symptoms include fever, cough, anosmia, ageusia, and pneumonia. The mortality rate of COVID-19 is higher among elderly and among ethnicities other than Caucasians. Furthermore, a markedly higher mortality rate has been observed for several comorbidities including obesity class II (BMI 35 •0-39•9 kg/m2) and III (BMI 40•0+ kg/m2), uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, malignancies in the previous year, severely reduced glomerular...

Stroke patients with COVID-19 have increased inflammation, stroke severity and death
(University of Alabama at Birmingham) Stroke patients who also have COVID-19 showed increased systemic inflammation, a more serious stroke severity and a much higher rate of death, compared to stroke patients who did not have COVID-19, according a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study of 60 ischemic stroke patients admitted to UAB Hospital between late March and early May 2020.

Acute Cerebral Stroke with Multiple Infarctions and COVID-19, France, 2020.
We describe 2 cases in coronavirus disease patients in France involving presumed thrombotic stroke that occurred during ongoing anticoagulation treatment for atrial fibrillation stroke prophylaxis; 1 patient had positive antiphospholipid antibodies. These cases highlight the severe and unique consequences of coronavirus disease-associated stroke. PMID: 32453685 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Letter in Response to Article in Journal of Infection: “Cardiovascular complications in COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis”
We read with great interest the systematic review and meta-analysis by Kunutsor and Laukkanen, which was recently published in the Journal of Infection and attempted to investigate the cardiovascular complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) [1]. The authors investigated and reported the pooled incidence for cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, disseminated intravascular coagulation, cardiac arrest, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, and among these pulmonary embolism (PE) and venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Neurologic aspects of covid-19: a concise review.
In conclusion, nervous system symptoms can be observed during SARS-CoV2 infection of which headache and smell and taste disturbance are the main symptoms reported. Cerebrovascular complications can complicate the course of COVID-19 in apparently low-risk patients. GBS is a life-threatening manifestation of COVID-19.

New study: Stroke patients are significantly delaying treatment amid COVID-19
(Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery) New research published today in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS) shows ischemic stroke patients are arriving to hospitals and treatment centers an average of 160 minutes later during the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared with a similar timeframe in 2019. These delays, say stroke surgeons from the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS), are impacting both survival and recovery.
