Thank you.

Complete article from Sci-Hub: The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 may be at least partially responsible for the respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients

I'm reading it now and have some doubts. Mouse models of protein expression are very different than those of humans. Protein Atlas ACE2 Brain Expression.

Possibly there may be a breakdown in the blood brain barrier that will result in some to be more vulnerable than others.

It would be nice to see a simple clinical neuro-examination of patients as well as saliva miRNA protein expression.

Thank you again.

Are you talking about viruses getting through the blood-brain barrier? They certainly do:

Viral entry to the brain: There are a variety of means by which viruses enter the brain, primarily via neuronal transport or by crossing of one of several barriers to the central nervous system (CNS), including the BBB or the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (choroid plexus).
