Many individuals who lost their sense of smell when infected with COVID-19 show structural and functional brain alterations on imaging, according to new work published in Nature. Now, experts are concerned that the symptoms could be associated with long-term brain alterations. In a group of people who reported anosmia as one of their COVID symptoms, experts recently observed an association between the loss of smell and decreased functional activity during decision-making tasks, reduced cortical thickness and other neural measures.
This virus is gonna have turned us all into senseless drooling blobs barely able to breathe in a couple of decades isn’t it
Kinda hyperbolic, but protecting right-wing feefees is a fucking stupid reason for not treating this more seriously.
I kinda want to keep my sense of smell and decision making abilities
It’s everybody’s feefees now. Point out that the pandemic is still absolutely going on and non-conservatives will also look at you with hostile non-comprehension.
I used to have pretty bad allergies from around april to august, where my nose and therefore my sense of smell was fucked. It’s more miserable than people realise. Granted the runny nose did some heavy lifting, but i stopped enjoying food and was just kinda miserable because of it
