I wonder how many people just fell into alcohol, isolation induced depression, sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, etc... and that their health decline had nothing to do with COVID.
That's the issue with these anecdotes
- dd36 3y agoOP did not claim their comment wasn’t an anecdote…
- swalsh 3y agoFor me personally, I've been working from home for years. While the world around me changed, my life stayed the same.
- thisguyfox 3y agoWhen the pandemic hit I went the opposite. Focused on a healthy mind and body, was able to study a bunch and finally broken through a few mental plateaus. But then I _got_ COVID and I can tell you COVID brain is real. Even after I had recovered physically there were a few weeks of obvious cognitive degradation. One of my first days testing negative I was trying to implement some pretty basic pagination logic but when it came time to writing the algos for it, it was like my body flipped a switch and I would get impossibly drowsy and have to go lie down. I've had covid twice since then without the same problem but it is very real and wild.
- herval 3y agoexactly! The slighted mental effort made me want to go to sleep too :(
- Teever 3y agoLong COVID is real.
- herval 3y agothere wasn't really much of a lockdown where I live, so I sincerely doubt that. Also I got COVID after the entire lockdown was over everywhere (2021), sooo no
- AnthonBerg 3y agoPlease forgive me for turning your words back on you: The issue with these statements such as yours is that they assume the non-existence of evidence that confirms that people’s experience is real. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2022.10.006 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2022.10.006 SARS-CoV-2 is known to cause brain damage, endocrine problems, and circulatory issues which impede oxygenation. Of the brain.
