Though we do not have diagnostic histology of vasculitis, we believe this to be a case of small vessel vasculitis caused by coronavirus OC43 infection.

- summary: 6 At a time when the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has disrupted the provision of routine healthcare services on a national and global scale, we describe a delayed presentation of disseminated F. necrophorum infection in an immunocompetent young male, in a case that emphasises the importance of encouraging patients to seek urgent medical care during a pandemic. While the majority of cases are of oropharyngeal origin, Lemierre's syndrome can also arise as a complication of an odontogenic infection, 7 and disseminated F. necrophorum infection has even been described following routine dental cleaning.

Although the possibility of GBS associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection remains to be clarified, the number of GBS cases reported between March 2020 and April 2020 is greater than five times that reported in the last 3 years.

- summary: Although studies investigating the treatment of COVID-19 psychosis have not been undertaken, treatment of secondary psychosis should be geared towards treating the underlying illness while managing psychotic symptoms with antipsychotics and benzodiazepines at the lowest possible dose. Further, one patient had a comorbid panic disorder, which may lead to heightened vulnerability to psychotic illness, and another was experiencing homelessness and was on 120 mg of methadone for opioid use disorder, again confounding the diagnosis of COVID-19 psychosis.

- summary: In a recent pilot of awake proning in patients with COVID-19 at one New York emergency department, the median SpO 2 improved from 84% to 94%. Once the pandemic has abated, there may be a role for awake proning in patients with other respiratory illness/infection who are proving difficult to oxygenate in the more conventional supine position, though further studies are required to validate it as an effective treatment.
