You don't want this to occur. So YOU WILL NEED TO ENSURE YOUR DOCTOR DOES THE FOLLOWING:
The autopsy findings caused a stir at many hospitals and influenced some doctors to start giving blood thinners to all covid-19 patients. It is now common practice.
Another takeaway is that the findings underscore the importance of getting people on supplementary oxygen quickly to prevent irreversible brain damage.
I don't know what you should be doing if you get it but not badly enough to go to a hospital. That to me if the most important thing our medical professionals should be giving us. Of course that is self treatment which goes against everything doctors stand for.

Abstract
Many patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID‐19) remain unresponsive after surviving critical illness.
Although several structural brain abnormalities have been described,
their impact on brain function and implications for prognosis are
unknown. Functional neuroimaging, which has prognostic significance, has
yet to be explored in this population. Here we describe a patient with
severe COVID‐19 who, despite prolonged unresponsiveness and structural
brain abnormalities, demonstrated intact functional network
connectivity, and weeks later recovered the ability to follow commands.
When prognosticating for survivors of severe COVID‐19, clinicians should
consider that brain networks may remain functionally intact despite
structural injury and prolonged unresponsiveness.
