I don't really have anything to back this up but I really feel like so many people getting multiple Covid infections have affected the way a lot of people process and react to things.
@BlackAzizAnansi I definitely know people with long covid who report experiencing that themselves. And I have a similar vague impression from my interaction with other people in general
@elplatt@BlackAzizAnansi here's an article from February in the New England Journal of Medicine that looks at cognition & memory in a large community sample.
Out of ~113 thousand participants, people who recovered from COVID had small deficits in global cognition compared to those without COVID, and larger deficits were correlated with longer recovery times. This included memory, reasoning, and executive function.
