Even mild Covid changes children’s brains.

“We speculate that viral-triggered neuroinflammation and immune response contribute to neurotoxic damage in brain regions involved in cognitive processing, ultimately resulting in alterations in cortical morphology and glymphatic function.”

Long COVID is linked to reduced serotonin levels, which are driven by viral RNA-induced type I interferons (IFNs).

Peripheral serotonin deficiency impairs cognition by reducing vagal nerve signaling, affecting hippocampal responses and memory.

Limbic system damage from Covid:

SARS-CoV-2 is a neurotropic virus that may cause long-term neurological symptoms by damaging the limbic system.

This research shows that COVID-19 can impair emotion recognition, memory, and olfactory abilities, with altered brain connectivity patterns.

“Worse, most people don’t even notice it has happened to themselves.

But I can tell you we who continue to mask and have many fewer COVID infections can see the growing cognitive damage in more and more people around us.

Memory problems, like recall and word finding delays. Weakness and fatigue and motor control impairment. Growing executive function and emotional regulation deficits.

More and more friends disables and forced out of work or school by Long COVID symptoms.

It’s scary to witness the broad societal decline, and dispiriting to see so many governments and Public Health agencies persist in minimizing the growing problem.”

A 43% increase cognitive disabilities since 2019.

“This is tragic and horrifying. And it’s going to get progressively worse as we’re all systematically reinfected.”

Whoopi Goldberg, who just had her 4th COVID infection, joked about her post infection brain damage on TV.

“I’m just getting over COVID – again – and I can barely remember anybody’s name. There are times when I go for a word and it’s not there.”
