Long COVID and brain fog

My significant other pointed me to this twitter thread by Hannah Davis, who I'm guessing is a doctor, and who co-wrote a soon-to-be peer reviewed paper on long COVID and brain fog.

The twitter thread is here:

I thought the thread was interesting enough that I downloaded the old version of her paper.  It's a PDF and 70 pages long, and is not light reading.   Again though, there's enough good stuff there that I thought it was worthwhile.

The PDF is here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.24.20248802v3.full.pdf

Title = Characterizing Long COVID in an International Cohort: 7 Months of Symptoms and Their Impact

I'm wondering if some people who have symptoms of dementia (but are not diagnosed), may, in reality, have long COVID. So going forward, maybe when we check for vitamin B12 deficiencies, we should look at long COVID too.

One of the interesting (chilling?) things I saw was that COVID brain fog can affect much younger people, like people in their 20s.
