You link to two studies, apparently assuming no one will read them. The first study has nothing to do with strokes and their main conclusion is "COVID-19 patients with pre-existing cerebrovascular disease have poor outcomes." Ya think?
The second study is more interesting and is indeed looking at strokes. But you're on a youth soccer board trying to stir people up talking about "relatively young" patients. The qualifier for a "relatively young" patient in the study is being under 55. And even using that parameter, only 24% of those in the study fall into that category (104 of them, to be precise; out of a study of 136 facilities spanning 32 countries).
Finally, 38% of them came to the hospital because of stroke symptoms, not COVID. That's a pretty big leap to suggest it was COVID that caused the stroke.
It's people like you that really piss me off. Stoking fear among as many as you can by providing bullsh_t "research" as evidence, and leaving out as much context as possible so that you can support an incredibly weak assertion.
