I’m still in the middle of reading this but it’s really taken my interest. My grandmother (memere) and dad both died of neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s and and in my dads case- Alzheimer’s but suspected Lewy Body. I have had brain fog and intermittent short term memory loss since COVID as well as loss of smell. I’ve wondered and wondered what, if any the link could be with these disorders and covid. This is immensely interesting! Thanks

Shocker! It’s a respiratory virus not at all unlike all the others which came before it and its “novel” features appear to be a result of observation / confirmation bias.

We learn nothing do we? The past few decades have seen several viruses causing “absolutely characteristic” clinical syndromes - until it transpired they actually hadn’t.

I would like to know how to regenerate the cells. My husband lost his taste and smell. He also had brain fog and severe headaches for at least a year. He was 80 when we both had covid in December 2020. I got my taste and smell back in about 3 weeks. His first wife and daughter had covid a year later and they both still can't taste and smell. It is serious because my husband doesn't really care about eating. No pleasure anymore.

There's no such thing as pathogenic, transmissible 'viruses'.. so yes, you are right
