The more researchers study Covid, the more they find that it affects the patient's brain:
Researchers from Oxford University combed through more than a million patient files and discovered that, two years after infection, patients who had recovered from COVID-19 were at a higher risk of psychosis, dementia and "brain fog" when compared with patients who recovered from other respiratory diseases.
This is very concerning because further on in the article :
"Children getting over COVID-19 were twice as likely to suffer from epilepsy or a seizure, and three times as likely to develop a psychotic disorder compared with those recovering from a respiratory disease, even as the absolute risk of the conditions remains low."
It's getting more and more apparent that Covid is turning out to be a brain disease-not merely a respiratory one. Very terrifying because the long term effects are not known for sure, because this is such a new disease. I'm afraid that a large proportion of our population is going to suffer from Alzheimer's when they weren't particularly prone to it through heredity.
Scary stuff, because our health care system is not very robust at all.
Thank you for the update. There are 2 people from a family close to me going through that right now. The good news is they have both returned home after many months in the hospital and the prognosis was NOT good for either especially when one was comatose.
I am now going to counter your news with something positive
UBC researchers in CANADA may have found a weakness that can be targeted by specific antibodies and works well for known variants to date. That is already good news... Hopefully the antibodies will be available in the near future, but research to human participation takes time. The study has been peer reviewed.
