Browsing reddit because I hate myself and I come across this post on /r/GenX that describes not being able to recall words. Most of that thread is describing this as a normal part of being in your 50s. It's kinda not! That's not normal, it's a bad thing.
Covid affects the brain. Pretty badly! Even mild Covid is linked to brain damage. That hasn't stopped happening, there keeps being more research confirming it.
Anyways, wear a mask, stay safe, keep your comrades safe.
I've been having trouble remembering words (and everything else) my entire life, I have no idea how I'd know if it got worse at some point. I'd better stay safe, I don't think I can afford to lose any more memory. >_<
