From crown jewels of the whole system like Yosemite to remote marine ecosystems like Channel Islands National Park, California s national parks certainly pack a punch. Indeed, not only are there ten parks proper, but a bevy of other protected places run by the national parks service, including national monuments, wilderness areas, seashores, and preserves.

The researchers found evidence that the brain inflammation was likely caused by an immune response to the disease. The researchers say this suggests that some neurological complications of COVID-19 might come from the immune response rather than the virus itself.
Researchers say this new study confirms previously reported findings of a higher than expected number of stroke patients conditions that were triggered by the “excessive stickiness” of the blood in COVID-19 patients.
