For some, Covid will never leave
Right now, it's estimated that long Covid, a series of complications lasting well beyond the illness itself, affects as many as 30% of those who've had Covid.
Now, the bad news. The pithily named "brain fog" appears to affect the brain in much the same way Alzheimer's and Parkinson's do. All are irreversible. Early dementia - hell of a risk to have taken to celebrate a man who never cared a bit about anyone but himself.
The study, published in Nature Communications, provides the first indications that some of the neurological symptoms in long-COVID are being caused by amyloid clumps appearing in the brain that are similar to those that cause Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia (Latrobe University).
