'MANAGEMENT'.
THIS IS PRECISELY WHY ALL THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE FIRED. If you are not even trying to get them cured, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY. This tyranny of low expectations needs to be excised from stroke. You have had decades to figure out how to cure people of stroke. Adding COVID-19 should have been a minor addition to that practice.

Introduction
To develop a comprehensive document, panel members from 18 countries were identified on the basis of their previous work in relevant topic areas. Preference was given to members from countries with large proportion of COVID-19 infected patients and those from countries with previous corona virus infection outbreaks such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The panel used systematic literature reviews using key words “COVID-19,” AND “corona virus,” OR “stroke,” AND “cerebrovascular disease” from 1 November 2019 to 5 April 5 2020. Additional reference to previously published stroke guidelines, WHO, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, relevant non-stroke-related professional guidelines, personal files, and expert opinion were made (see supplemental material for literature reviewed). The report summarized existing evidence, indicated gaps in current knowledge, and when appropriate, formulated practice implications.
