Like a "fire in the brain": COVID can cause brain inflammation
"A new study in the journal Molecular Psychiatry shows for the first time that SARS-2 can trigger the same inflammatory processes seen in patients with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's."
'A silent killer': COVID-19 shown to trigger inflammation in the brain
Another study showing that metabolic pathways activated in brain by covid are similar to the ones that happen in Alzheimer & Parkinson diseases. While the drugs to stop this inflammation are being tested, the inflammation is affecting millions of ppl.

Risk for Developing Alzheimer’s Disease Increases by 50-80% In Older Adults Who Caught COVID-19 - Neuroscience News
"Older people who were infected with COVID-19 show a substantially higher risk—as much as 50% to 80% higher than a control group—of developing Alzheimer’s disease within a year, according to a study of more than 6 million patients 65 and older."
COVID-PARKINSON’S LINK - News Services
"...analysis of nearly one million Danish health records that found COVID-19 patients were more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, as well as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and bleeding in the brain."
Common viruses may be triggering the onset of Alzheimer’s disease
"... researchers also noted the #long_term #neurological effects that some COVID patients have experienced from the #SARSCoV2 virus, particularly among the elderly, and that both #VZV and #HSV_1 can be reactivated after a #COVID #infection."
COVID-19 and neurodegenerative diseases
"many patients with COVID-19 experience a variety of neurological complications...possible mechanisms between COVID-19 and several typical neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis"

Neurotoxic amyloidogenic peptides in the proteome of SARS-COV2: potential implications for neurological symptoms in COVID-19
Similarities between Alzheimer’s and long COVID found in new study
New research from Australia: proteins generated by SARSCoV2 can form into aggregations similar to those found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s...this mechanism may underpin persistent neurological symptoms such as brain fog seen in long COVID.
The Race to Unravel COVID’s Hidden Link to Alzheimer’s
"In some brains, COVID causes molecular changes that mirror those seen in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s, leading some scientists to believe that long COVID may be an atypical form of the memory-destroying disorder."
COVID-19 May Accelerate Alzheimer's and Other Cognitive Issues
There is no mild Covid.
"These new data point to disturbing trends showing COVID-19 infections leading to lasting cognitive impairment and even Alzheimer’s symptoms,”

Read this thread. Any Covid infection can lead to Alzheimer’s-like brain damage.
There will be no herd immunity. Reinfection happens on average in 16 mos.
We also know it causes organ damage, clots & T-cell decrease.
We’ve barely begun to see what Covid infection means long term.
