What We Know About Covid’s Impact on Your Brain?
Brain shrinkage is observed even in mild or asymptomatic cases of Covid and impacts cognition.
Even mild COVID can cause brain shrinkage and affect mental function, new study shows
“Brain changes including shrinkage, weakened connections and poorer performance on thinking and memory tests could explain ‘brain fog’ after COVID – even after ‘mild’ cases.”
Whoopi Goldberg Commiserates With Fellow-Covid Sufferer Joe Biden: “Sometimes I Go For A Word And It’s Not There”
Whoopi Goldberg, who just had her 4th COVID infection, joked about her post infection brain damage on TV.

Study uncovers the basis of COVID-19-related brain fog | University of Minnesota
EXTREME and incomplete oversimplification of the many complex neurological issues caused by SarsCov2, but important facet of the vaguely defined “brain fog” of Long Covid and post-acute Covid lingering symptoms.
“Neurological symptoms have been widely observed in COVID-19 patients, with many survivors exhibiting persistent neurological and cognitive impairment. New research from the University of Minnesota found that COVID-19 triggers inflammation in the brain, which is linked to many COVID-related symptoms such as fatigue and ‘brain fog.’”
