I'm having like, an ongoing panic attack as I'm collating and compiling Brain & COVID research articles together.
Like chemobrain in some ways,
Like HIV associated neurocognitive decline in some ways,
Like Parkinson's in some ways,
Like Alzheimer's in some ways,
Like accelerated aging in some ways,
Like stroke in many ways,

The part that scares me the most is what this is going to do to our society. I think brain fogged people will be more susceptible to fascism
Hang in there as best you can. I worry about my dad and his brain fog, and I knew that unintentional injury deaths were up, but I didn't realize that it was as extreme as it was until I read this paper this morning:
https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(22)00431-7/fulltext
"...the relative increase in rate ratio from 2019 to 2020 was greatest for unintentional injury (24.8%; from 3.41 [95% CI=3.23, 3.60] to 4.26 [95% CI=3.99, 4.53])."
