Gearhead Posted December 29, 2020 I saw that article, too. I’m not clear on the age range it’s supposed to affect; the article sort made it seem like anyone over thirty, which frankly is most people who’ve gotten sick anyway. Missed out on this effect, but still impacted every day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarn Posted December 29, 2020 I found that a bit odd, personally - it seemed to suggest if you developed psychosis under 30 (you're schizophrenic) or over 60 (you have dementia), but if you're in that in between range, it is a COVID side effect. I'm simplifying, of course. And I read it earlier today, cognitive impairment, so I'm relying on my sketchy memory lol. It is terrible you're still impacted...you'd think the fucking disease could just fuck off and leave people alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
