I'll bet this is likely considered but,
"For instance, 407 of the COVID patients reported having persistent concentration and memory problems at the end of the first year, while 276 of the controls also did. That meant that for every 10,000 people, only about 13 had cognitive difficulties that were attributable specifically to COVID"
^ is there a chance that a year later, these folks just got used to their "new normal" level of memory and concentration, and stopped feeling off?, and so reported lower levels of those cognitive symptoms?
- TexanFeller 4y agoAverage stress levels went through the roof during the pandemic. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other mental health problems that skyrocketed after 2020 could easily explain significant concentration and memory problems. Less confounding variables for physical problems, although things like average weight/BMI went way up so physical health factors aren't trivial to detangle either.
