Many people living with Long Covid have cognitive dysfunction (often referred to as brain fog). In this blog, our chair @alitwy discusses whether this is a ticking time bomb.

Thank you @Jamie_Ducharme for this incredibly timely and important piece about the challenges of #LongCOVID

Anyone “surprised” by the health impact of SARS2 clearly didn’t do their research…
“10 YEARS on, SARS1 survivors are still experiencing problems, such as fatigue, muscle & joint pain, shortness of breath and new problems, eg numbness in feet.”

I wonder what the number is for someone with #LongCovid and #Cancer is.

“When I looked at that initially, I was really shocked,” said study author @zalaly, “That’s actually a huge number.”
“#LongCovid generated more than 80 disability-adjusted life years, or DALYs for those who weren’t hospitalized.. heart disease or cancer, cause about 52 & 50”

Long COVID patients are quite possibly experiencing the early stages of neurodegeneration.
