Uh oh!

After contracting the coronavirus in March, Michael Reagan lost all memory of his 12-day vacation in Paris, even though the trip was just a few weeks earlier.
Several weeks after Erica Taylor recovered from her Covid-19 symptoms of nausea and cough, she became confused and forgetful, failing to even recognize her own car, the only Toyota Prius in her apartment complex’s parking lot.
Lisa Mizelle, a veteran nurse practitioner at an urgent care clinic who fell ill with the virus in July, finds herself forgetting routine treatments and lab tests, and has to ask colleagues about terminology she used to know automatically.
“I leave the room and I can’t remember what the patient just said,” she said, adding that if she hadn’t exhausted her medical leave she’d take more time off.
“It scares me to think I’m working,” Ms. Mizelle, 53, said. “I feel like I have dementia.”
It’s becoming known as Covid brain fog: troubling cognitive symptoms that can include memory loss, confusion, difficulty focusing, dizziness and grasping for everyday words. Increasingly, Covid survivors say brain fog is impairing their ability to work and function normally.
“There are thousands of people who have that,” said Dr. Igor Koralnik, chief of neuro-infectious disease at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, who has already seen hundreds of survivors at a post-Covid clinic he leads. “The impact on the work force that’s affected is going to be significant.
Scientists aren’t sure what causes brain fog, which varies widely and affects even people who became only mildly physically ill from Covid-19 and had no previous medical conditions. Leading theories are that it arises when the body’s immune response to the virus doesn’t shut down or from inflammation in blood vessels leading to the brain.
Confusion, delirium and other types of altered mental function, called encephalopathy, have occurred during hospitalization for Covid-19 respiratory problems, and a study found such patients needed longer hospitalizations, had higher mortality rates and often couldn’t manage daily activities right after hospitalization.
So then it probably would not be a good idea to allow somebody who is still recovering from the Coronavirus to make important, potentially life-altering decisions, right?
Which I would assume also includes virtually every decision that a president of the United States would make on a daily basis.
Not only should Trump have stepped down while he was recovering from the virus, but he should have been blocked from posting anything on Twitter until the virus had completely run its course and he had passed another one of those cognitive tests he likes to brag about.
Then perhaps we would not find ourselves dealing with lunatic ravings like this:
New York has gone to hell. Vote Trump!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2020
Or this:
California is going to hell. Vote Trump!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2020
I think Trump’s brain fog is so thick right now that he probably could not find his way to a coherent thought at gunpoint.
Three years running, chemo brain is a real thing. No doubt COVID is as well.
tinydjt tweets>Leaving now for Florida Rally. Big crowds!
He should sue the women, and all of those who illegally worked with them, for false and disgusting accusations!!!
Re:@JudiciaryGOP
Remember what they did to Brett Kavanaugh.
We don’t owe the Democrats anything.

Didn’t know you were keeping score. Whose turn is it to toss the darts. All bets final.
Personally trump had significant cognitive deficits before COVID, except when it comes to swindling the taxpayers.
I suffered four gran mal seizures this spring. No known cause. I’m now on medication. I experienced this in the first 1-2 days after my seizures. It was horrible. I could not function at work. I would audit the same transactions multiple times, forgetting what I just did. Something that would normally take 10 minutes took an hour. My handwriting didn’t look like my own, and I couldn’t stay awake. This stuff is real, and it is devastating. I can’t imagine experiencing it for months,
Bless you, 2:43 pm. My family member, same, especially the handwriting. “I had to will myself to write, and it looked like gibberish,”
Front liner, Caught in March, lack of PPE.
Thank you. I’ve been seizure-free since June.

‘Handmaid’ in Secretive Christian Group
A membership directory obtained by The New York Times lists Amy Coney Barrett as a “handmaid,” a term once used by People of Praise to refer to their female leaders. But the term was replaced with “woman leaders” after the TV series “The Handmaid’s Tale” made it sound “sinister.”
Professor Thomas Csordas spoke to Inside Edition about the community.
“They are conservative, authoritarian, hierarchical and patriarchal,” he said. “And men are definitely in charge.”
I got news for them. Before it sounded “sinister” it sounded denigrating. Handmaids were SLAVES. Remember Hagar? How Sarah basically had Abraham rape Hagar in order for her to get pregnant and bear a child for them? Yes, that’s why the term was used in the book. But before the TV series it was still insulting. Hagar wasn’t a servant. She was a slave that was raped, given by her mistress for her husband to impregnate. There is nothing honorable or Christian about that.
If Barrett is still a member of this cult, she has no business being a judge, let alone a justice on the Supreme Court.

Will Trump also grab them by their pu$$y???
If you “believe in Jesus”, you are in a brain fog. The erroneous view of “believing in Jesus” is the far greater danger than covid.
Birch tea. It works.
I am also affected by that damned virus. It’s like something out of a horror show. I have no energy. No interest in reading. It’s like I am braindead. I still have that covid cough.
Yeah, but with Trump, how could you tell?
