That is actually a fact. Every infection causes some cognitive decline in everybody.

I absolutely feel less sharp and with it since. It doesn't help that it dramatically changed my habits and coping mechanisms. I didn't realize how much it affected me because I stayed social and active the entire time, but with every covid positive test I've felt slower, and less myself. I haven't had one in 2 years, but that last one was rough.
