Interesting article. Noting the statement about COVID being associated with brain fog and other cognitive symptoms and one study finding that the incidence (new diagnoses) of dementia accelerated in 2020 ..... but followed by accelerating declines in dementia in 2021. I would have to see alot more studies proving this. I'm having a hard time believing there is an actual decline overall. All around me, I see definite cognitive decline that is not age-related in people that had COVID. It was evident from the beginning and I'm still seeing it.

(“tsoo-naw-mee!” as Victoria Ratliff would say) in this situation, translates to - “it’s so not me”🤔

Ha ha yes, I hope a White Lotus reference wasn't too obscure!

I did have to Google her but it didn’t really matter cos it’s like those crazy phonetic ways to pronounce words 🤣
