Why do you conclude that, Joe?

No. Very very few people will get brain-damaged from COVID.

Well I've spoken to several different people about brain damage and none of them have heard of that happening and they don't mention it on the news. Even when I googled it it didn't give many straight answers.

The "brain damage" symptoms include all the ADHD symptoms that I have anyway, so will that make me immune to brain damage from covid? Image

Here is one of the references that talk about it: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-n ... -rcna18959

Brain damage can be all sorts of things, not just ADHD. The ADHD would be the least of my worries cause your brain still works you just don't wanna focus cause you are hyper. The things I am A LOT more concerned about are things like loss of IQ points, loss of memory, and so forth.

I talked to my former landlord on facebook. He said he had COVID twice, and he has hard time accessing some of the information from his memory. He also said that he had episodes of difficulty breathing even a long time after the covid was gone.

Still didn't give that much information about it.


Is there anyone else here who is worried about brain damage or has experienced it yourselves after having covid?


Does IQ points mean I'll be stupider after covid? Does it affect social or emotional IQ points, or just intellectual? I don't want my memory affected. What if I forget my mum? She died of cancer last year.

Why is everyone getting on with their normal lives now if covid is giving everyone the risk of brain damage? Brain damage is a big deal. Does the Chinese government want everyone in the world to lose brain cells then?

Maybe suicide is the only way out of this. I am not risking losing my memory and IQ. Maybe when I'm 80 but not now. Maybe I won't go into work any more, as it's too risky.

You haven’t caught it yet so you may be a super dodger.Some lucky people don’t catch it.

I know that Joe is in England and I don't know England statistics, but at least in USA the majority of people didn't catch it yet. If you look here https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/he ... and-cases/ you will find that the total number of cases in USA is around 96 million, but if you google US population you get 331 million. So the number of people in USA that got it is slightly less than a third of the population. Again, I don't know about England, but I would guess it should be similar.

I think more people have had it in England than haven't, being so England is smaller and dangerously overpopulated.
I'd say the vast majority of everyone I know have had covid. They're not dumb, forgetful or nose-blind.

Thank you Caz72 for reassuring.

If you read earlier in this thread, you will see that it started out by her asking why are people so afraid of covid if death rate was so little. So I simply answered her question. The answer is that, for the most part, its not about death rate but about long covid. The brain damage is an example of long covid.

I realize that, even though she was the one who asked, answering it might just stress her out more. But I guess from my point of view withholding the information won't help anyone. Because denying something won't make it go away. But trying to be careful and not catch it, might.

Possibly more on CDC stats here.
So far I’ve dodged it but I isolate and mask.

There are many cases of COVID in the US which weren’t officially reported.

Many people weren’t tested for COVID until April, 2020.

Many positives from home tests are not reported to the CDC.

I would estimate at least 2/3 of the population of the US got COVID. I had it twice over 2.5 years.

I keep having brain fog. Maybe I've had covid and didn't know it and now I have brain fog because of it. But I do have ADHD so maybe it's anxiety, stress and depression making me have brain fog.

Also this was shared on Facebook. I'm hoping it's fake news. https://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3 ... 6iHgMrSSzJ
Anyway I don't see what difference winter makes, as covid, flu and norovirus were rife all through the hot summer we had.
