There are a number of recent studies showing significant mental impairment as a result of Covid infections.
-"According to the report Trusted Source published in The Lancet on November 9, 18 percent of COVID-19 patients developed a mental health issue — like depression, anxiety, or dementia — within 3 months of diagnosis. Their risk was doubled compared to people who didn’t have COVID-19"
-"Nearly 6 percent of adults diagnosed with COVID-19 developed a psychiatric disorder for the first time ever within 90 days, compared to just 3.4 percent of patients who didn’t have COVID-19."
-"Older adults with COVID-19 also had a two to three times greater risk for developing dementia." https://www.healthline.com/health-news/people-with-covid-19-more-likely-to-develop-depression-anxiety-and-dementia#How-the-new-coronavirus-affects-the-brain https://www.healthline.com/health-news/people-with-covid-19-more-likely-to-develop-depression-anxiety-and-dementia#How-the-new-coronavirus-affects-the-brain
-"October 29, 2020 -- The coronavirus can affect brain functioning and cause mental decline equivalent to the brain aging by about 10 years, according to a new study published on the preprint server MedRxiv. The study hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed.
Even those who have recovered from COVID-19 may face “chronic cognitive consequences,†they found. In the worst cases, the mental decline was similar to a drop in 8.5 IQ points.
“The results align with the ‘brain fog’ reported by many people who, even months after recovery, say they are unable to concentrate on work or focus how they did before,†Adam Hampshire, the lead research and a doctor at Imperial College London, told The Times of London.
The research analyzed cognitive tests for more than 84,000 people in the UK who had recovered from confirmed or suspected COVID-19. They saw that recovered patients performed worse on cognitive tests in multiple areas than would be expected for their age and other demographics. The tests included questions that measured problem-solving abilities, working memory, selective attention and emotional processing. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20201028/study-shows-covid-19-may-cause-brain-aging https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20201028/study-shows-covid-19-may-cause-brain-aging
-"Doctors in a large Chicago medical center found that more than 40% of patients with COVID showed neurologic manifestations at the outset, and more than 30% of those had impaired cognition. Sometimes the neurological manifestations can be devastating and can even lead to death.
However, new research is now suggesting that there may be long-term neurologic consequences in those who survive COVID infections, including more than seven million Americans and another 27 million people worldwide. Particularly troubling is increasing evidence that there may be mild — but very real — brain damage that occurs in many survivors, causing pervasive yet subtle cognitive, behavioral, and psychological problems." https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-hidden-long-term-cognitive-effects-of-covid-2020100821133 https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-hidden-long-term-cognitive-effects-of-covid-2020100821133
Could it be that it is not just the loss of the election that has triggered even more irrational behavior from Trump? Could it be effects of Covid? And what impact did experimental treatments have on his cognitive abilities given some of the drugs he was prescribed for Covid do impact mental abilities?
Can you imagine what Agriville will sound like if some of the participants who claim Covid is a hoax end up getting Covid and experience 10 years of brain aging and lower IQs!
