Neurologic and neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19 are affecting a growing number of people worldwide. We provide a brief overview of these manifestations, contrasting them with those of other 21st century viral epidemics, as well as mitigation strategies, and societal and moral considerations related to the pandemic. We highlight unique concerns relating to COVID-19 given the scale of infection, mental health challenges faced by health care providers and the general public, and the unprecedented social consequences, including benefits and possible harms associated with continuous connectedness using modern digital communication.
