Am I? Level of olfaction impairment and cognitive impairment have tracked together according to some other sources. Again, I'll be glad if this isn't true. He was most struck by three findings: One, he said, was the frequency with which people who had been exposed to the coronavirus had subsequent problems with memory. About 60 per cent had cognitive impairment, and for 1 in 3, the symptoms were severe. Second, his findings indicate that the severity of a COVID-19 patient’s illness does not predict cognitive problems. “What puts you at risk of having the cognitive problems is just having been infected, regardless of how badly ill you were,” he said. “You may have had very mild COVID, but if you were infected and you are older, you are at risk of having these issues.” And, third, losing the ability to smell, which has been commonly reported among COVID-19 patients, is correlated with cognitive troubles. “They track together quite well,” de Erausquin said. “The more severe your lack of smell, the more severe your cognitive impairment.” https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/covid-19-could-lead-to-cognitive-decline-new-research-suggests-20210730-p58ea1.html https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/covid-19-could-le...
