But then again it may be that there is an issue with the virus affecting the memory and thought processes of some of us.
The effects of the virus are still largely not understood.
But the 'covid fog' is certainly something that is being looked at.

Covid symptoms vary greatly from individual to individual
The length of symptoms also varies.
I can only go on my own experience, and a task I'd normally find realtively easy, and not one I've had trouble with before, became frustratingly complicated.
So, not wanting to be dismissive of Covid Fog, because I have only my anecdotal experiences to draw off, and even that is removed from a positive case by at least a household (most of my extended family have caught it, myself and the wife have been to the best of our knowledge covid free and very healthy over the last few years) these are the exact same things that people state to do to combat mental health issues, as well as being healthier in general:
Quote:What might help clear the brain fog?
To help clear the brain fog, I recommend pursuing all of the activities that we know help everyone’s thinking and memory.
Perform aerobic exercise. You may need to start slow, perhaps just two to three minutes a few times a day. While there is no established “dose” of exercise to improve brain health, it’s generally recommended you work toward 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
Eat Mediterranean-style meals. A healthy diet including olive oil, fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans, and whole grains has been proven to improve thinking, memory. and brain health.
Avoid alcohol and drugs. Give your brain the best chance to heal by avoiding substances which can adversely affect it.
Sleep well. Sleep is a time when the brain and body can clear out toxins and work toward healing. Make sure you give your body the sleep it needs.
Participate in social activities. We are social animals. Not only do social activities benefit our moods, but they help our thinking and memory as well.
Pursue other beneficial activities, including engaging in novel, cognitively stimulating activities; listening to music; practicing mindfulness; and keeping a positive mental attitude.
All of it very valid. I hope only to try and challenge you to think, is this really covid fog? Or is it simply a result of a body having fought an infection?
Id suggest the latter.
