Covid causing brain damage

There is a singular silence over long term.covid midst all the Tory triumphalism and grandstanding

Party on bubule

.
'A study, published in the medical journal Lancet Psychiatry in April 2021 found that about one-quarter of COVID-19 survivors were diagnosed with neurological or psychological conditions within six months of their original COVID-19 infections

Memory loss and brain damage are common long-term coronavirus symptoms

they should lean into this and use it to explain the behaviour of the tories throughout 2020/21

no they aren't

I've said all along that complacency is idiocy for as long as the eventual consequences of infection are ill understood.

Undoubtedly less than the mental health issues caused by isolation and lockdown

Have you run such a study risky?

Get jabbed peeps.

they should lean into this and use it to explain the behaviour of team sane throughout 2020/21

I've said all along: woman the fvck up, grandad

Some are blaming this on Trump and Johnson's erratic behavior

The Lancet was the launchpad for Andrew Wakefield

"we found people forcibly confined for months on end then infected with a disease we had convinced them was worse than cancer went a bit mad!"

Given clergs seems to get covid once a week and is an adamant anti-vaccer, I can see the merits in such a study.

About one quarter! What total and obvious bollocks.

This matches with my experience. Quite a few friends and colleagues have been suffering with mental slowness, poor memory, struggling with speech.

Seems to last 6 months tops.

Tough break, the last thing anti-vaxxers need is something making them more stupid

Heh

Lol

I know two stories like this. Both young and healthy, got Covid, no hospitalisation or anything. Both developed long Covid and are not back to work 12-18 months after their illness. Both have severe 'brain damage'. One was doing very well and on fast track to partnership. Very smart. Now when he works, his work product is basically crap. The other, a woman, has severe memory loss. So not 6 months brain fog and then back to normal. Their futures are down the drain.

But it's just two stories. I'd rather have vaccine immunity though....

That can't be right, Tricky. It's well known that only lazy over-pensioned public sector workers get long covid.

A quarter sounds plausible from my own anecdotal experience. A lot of people are still recovering six months later. The same is true with bog standard pneumonia. I recovered quite quickly, maybe three months after I left hospital, but that's by no means always the case.

I’m still getting worrying heart palpitations a year after getting infected (pre-vax).

Had virtually no symptoms at the time except heart palpitations. Had never had heart problems before, no family history of it, and I had no pre-existing health conditions.

The non-fatal effects of covid will be a much bigger issue long-term than fatalities.

Has anyone told clergham about this?

I think long covid is largely hysteria

I don't know anyone who was sick for more than a week

No offence, Tez

Ps wtf is "brain damage" in scare quotes

Frightening stories there Tricky

I agree with clergs. Sounds like these were sick notes looking for an excuse

Clergs, you realise, of course, that you yourself, are largely hysteria? Right?

coMPo fACe

So to be clear, clergs (RoF's prominent anti-vaccer) doesn't believe any stories about covid but does believe any story about side effects from the vaccine.

So basically, she's a fecking moron.
