#COVID19 takes a decade from your brain. This study found "a significant decline in cognitive throughput following COVID-19, after adjustment for pre-COVID-19 functioning, demographics, and medical factors. The effect sizes were large; the observed changes in throughput were equivalent to 10.6 years of normal aging and a 59.8% increase in the burden of mild cognitive impairment."
I posted an article on Post.news providing a #COVID19 update. Summary: Signals suggest we are already starting our holiday surge. Even in this supposed lull period, 8x more people were hospitalized last week with COVID than flu. And new studies suggest Long COVID may be getting worse with newer variants. I share a couple of hard rules (get the new jab, stay home if sick) and a few recommended practices.
@mcc The party has landed on a small island inhabited by giant dire hermit crabs! Being hermits, these crabs prefer their solitude. They lock themselves in battle for control of the beach. The party is cut off from their boat... There's no way out!
