STAT (8/12, Cooney) reports that some individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 “say they can’t think.” Even those “who were never sick enough to go to a hospital, much less lie in an ICU bed with a ventilator, report feeling something as ill-defined as ‘Covid fog’ or as frightening as numbed limbs.” Experts told STAT that “as many as 1 in 3 patients recovering from [COVID-19] could experience neurological or psychological after-effects of their infections…reflecting a growing consensus that the disease can have lasting impact on the brain.”
