"....two new studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine shed further light on the profound toll of COVID-19 on cognitive health." And in other studies cases "with mild to moderate COVID-19 showed significant prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that are commensurate with seven years of brain aging."

I know some people in my extended family that are up to their 6th or 7th time getting covid now. My anecdotal data suggests yes. It's hard to be sure, of course. There are so many reasons why they could seem even dumber now. But I like to hope it's mostly the physical damage done to their brains.
