KEILAR: New today, a serious warning from scientists in London. Coronavirus may lead to a wave of potential brain damage. Researchers at the University College London Hospital find that COVID-19 can cause neurologic complications, such as delirium, stroke, nerve damage and even fatal brain inflammation. The findings suggest that these complications are likely a result of the body's immune response rather than the virus itself attacking the brain. But one patient reported hallucinations, including seeing lions and monkeys in her home. We continue to learn just how vicious this virus can be and how it can attack the entire body on such a big scale. Patients who survive can suffer long-term effects. Some patients report symptoms for weeks and even months. My next guest, Chelsea Alionar, is among the long-term COVID sufferers. She's been and battling this virus for several months and is now helping others with symptoms like hers. Chelsea, thank you so much for coming on and telling us about what you've going through.</s>CHELSEA ALIONAR, COPING WITH LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF CORONAVIRUS: Thanks for having, Brianna. Today marks 122 days with COVID-19, and it's been a nightmare since the first day. I am</s>KEILAR: Chelsea, I know you've got some background noise. We're going to try to fix it. We're going to go to a break. We're going to go to a break. We're going to come right back. That's Chelsea Alionar telling us her resting heart rate is 130 or 140. She's been dealing with this for months. She's 37, only 37 years old and still suffering from COVID. We'll be right back with her story.
