Is it possible that folk get recognized "brain fog" from the crazy news blasting + a "severe cold" (for those that survive).
Like, a mild COVID is coupled with fear and isolation and media-bombs.
Could the weeks of mental stress cause a measurable affect (or effect?) for months after?
- derefr 4y agoThe news was no more crazy in 2020 than 2019; your hypothesis would suggest that "long COVID" should have already been "going around" before COVID, just without that name. Which — given the stats in the article — it wasn't.
- mwint 4y agoIn 2019, the news wasn’t telling everyone they were complicit in killing Grandma, and didn’t have a live grandma-death-counter on every screen.
- Markoff 4y agoNews prior 2020 were not covering health issues in 90% top articles. It's almost as if you report about terrorism all the time people are suddenly scared of terrorism and they don't feel safe, if you report about deadly virus they somehow feel less healthy over time.
- Izkata 4y agoDon't forget the riots and food/toilet paper shortages, that also happened in 2020.
