Have this been posted? Seems like something people would be more worries about than loss of smell.
Basically we’re talking atrophy of grey matter brains.. you know they areas of the brain associated with brains.. logic memory etc.
I feel like many trumpster and anti waxers are already halfway there, this could throw them over the edge.

(severity of this thing is proportional to the tango you have with covid, so get the fucking shot)

Alarming COVID study indicates long-term loss of gray matter and other brain tissue

In a research paper recently uploaded to the preprint server medRxiv* by Prof. Gwenaëlle Douaud et al. (June 15th, 2021), participants that had taken part in a brain study prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic were invited back for a series of follow-up tests, revealing significant losses...

Decaying grey matter? No wonder gop is pro COVID

They'll lose a few to the virus, sure, but the majority survive... sometimes a new knuckle dragger is created... Get them on posting Facebook, and profit

Interesting.....but the below disclaimer is from the same article, in reference to the source of this information. Might be COVID-related, might be from FBA (FaceBook Brain Atrophy). Regardless, since the replication crisis in medical research is almost as bad as with psychology......wait and see is a good start.

I did get COVID and did feel dragged down afterwards. Smell was not affected, however.

But I did have a co-morbidity. Gum disease.

My case did not result in hospitalization or anything terrifying, but it did stick for a while.

Where there is something most interesting, was that my mental sharpness has essentially been fully restored after eating sardines.

Thus, I have some grounds to believe I was deficient in something that the sardines ultimately provided that has cleared my mind(even with a horrible sleep schedule.

Interesting, that COVID actually (in a roundabout way) helped you find out a dietary deficiency. For what it's worth, vitamin B-12 and Omega-3 are relatively high in sardines. Might be a place to start your research.

Similar thing happened to me after I had COVID,. While waiting for symptoms to go away (nasty cough), I did a genetic test that found that I had High Choline needs and a few other not- known- to -me possible issues..

A couple of weeks later I got to thinking holistically about my health, so I asked my doctor for a full blood panel, looking specifically at hormone levels. It came back as low in Testosterone and DHEA and DHEA-S, as well as being high in cortisol. Huh! Never noticed anything other than my once sharp memory getting foggy. My doctor, knowing my background and that I'm into extreme sports, suggested supplementing Creatine, DHEA and 7-Oxo DHEA (all OTC), and within a couple of days, the fog was gone. A month later, I had a follow-up. It showed significantly lower cortisol, much higher Testosterone and that I dropped almost 1.5 inches around my waist and didn't lose any weight!

Long-term, I'll drop the supplements, change my diet/exercise plan and all will be fine. Thanks COVID for helping me find a hidden health issue!

Lots of omega-3. Good fat for the brain, and your skin. Cheap form of excellent protein, also good for the brain.

What did your physician think of your "sardine miracle cure" theory?

I'm 20 months out and still have very limited taste and smell. And I definitely have some cognitive issues I didn't use to have. Just random bouts of brain fog. It seems to be induced most by exercise. I've got my first long haul clinic appointment next week.
