| [ET via ZERO] For some, it’s just a sniffle. But for others, COVID-19 can hit hard. Either way, some people who get COVID-19 will suffer from long-term effects. This is known as "long COVID," and its sufferers are often referred to as "long haulers." Chances are you already know about long COVID and you may even have been affected by it or have friends or family who are. What is less well known, however, is that neurological issues are common in long COVID. Broken Brains Brain inflammation, stroke, chronic headache, disturbed consciousness, cognitive impairment, and "brain fog" (an all-encompassing phrase to describe a condition that usually manifests as slow thinking, memory lapses, and difficulty concentrating) can all result after infection with the virus known as SARS-CoV-2. Even the illness’s unusual hallmarks, hyposmia, and hypogeusia—better known to us non-scientists as loss of smell and taste—are thought to be due to changes in nervous system function. But while both clinicians and patients have noticed a myriad of brain issues post infection, scientists don’t know very much about how SARS-CoV-2 infections can lead to impaired brain function. That may be changing. A study published on Feb. 3 in Alzheimer’s & Dementia sheds light on a potential physiological mechanism behind the neurological problems COVID-19 survivors experience. While the deeper insight into what is going on is good news, unfortunately, there’s bad news, too. The new study, "Alzheimer’s-Like Signaling in Brains of COVID-19 Patients," includes some disturbing findings. |

| #4 So, a dumbing down virus for the US Voter population. Does that mean LSD Voter roles will be overflowing soon? Or does that just mean LSD's voters will just be even more liberal and gullible? ON A SERIOUS NOTE: A German Health Ins. Company published findings, based on claims, show infected persons have additional serious health issues for months afterwards. |

| #2 /\ A Thing™ which more privation, central control and political demagoguery can alleviate. A valid Democratic talking point and the reason I will be voting for Stacey Abrams for Governor of Ga. |

| #1 The evolution of Science™. Stuff that was happening anyway now has a cause! It's COVID! This is like gerbil worming, where drought, flood, heatwave and snowstorm are all caused by the same thing. A Thing™ which more privation, central control and political demagoguery can alleviate. For sure. Maybe... |
