“Let’s talk about COVID, brain damage & society.

Specifically, what happens when a neurotropic virus repeatedly infects the population, targeting the frontal lobe & almost nobody talks about the consequences?

This thread is for the skeptics.

I’m a neurologist, stay with me 🧵”

“In neurology/psychiatry, we would call this Apathy.

Brain damage to the frontal lobe (dorsal anterior cingulate cortex) causes apathy & reduces empathy.

SARS-CoV-2 damages this region of the brain. Every. Single. Time.

More infections = more damage = more apathy.”

"The study suggests that acute COVID-19, regardless of Long COVID status, is linked to an increased risk of car crashes presumably due to neurologic changes caused by SARS-CoV-2."
