A member asked:
Why do you think covid 19 is causing strokes now and didnt before ? do you think it is mutating ? and are there 3 subtypes of it as they say ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting obs: Most of the published cases are observational and the actual relation between strokes and COVID infections has to be studied as being causative or just association. Mutations are always possible, the current strain is mutated.
