A vote for Trump, a third party candidate, or no vote at all, is a vote for a dystopian future.

Pandemic ‘had lasting impact’ on brain health of people aged 50 or over
Wed 1 Nov 2023 23.30 GMT
The pandemic has caused sustained harm to the brain health of people aged 50 or over, rapidly speeding up cognitive decline regardless of whether or not they caught Covid, researchers have discovered.
Almost 780 million people were killed or made ill by the coronavirus, according to the World Health Organization. Health experts are now learning more about the indirect effects of the biggest public health crisis in a century.
A study has found that cognitive function and working memory in older adults declined more quickly during the first year of the pandemic between March 2020 and February 2021, even if they were not infected with the virus. The trend continued into 2021/22, suggesting an impact beyond the initial lockdowns.
The research is the largest of its kind to link the pandemic conditions – and the enormous lifestyle shifts triggered by lockdowns and other Covid restrictions – to sustained cognitive decline.
The acceleration in cognitive decline has been exacerbated by a number of factors since the arrival of Covid, the researchers said. These included an increase in loneliness and depression, a fall in exercise and higher alcohol consumption, as well as the effects of the disease itself. The study, led by the University of Exeter and King’s College London, was published in the Lancet Healthy Longevity journal.

Re: COVID-19 News and Discussions
I've now met more than one person with new migraine with scintilating scotoma (vision loss for periods of time) and fine motor control issues of the left hand. and at least one case of new epilepsy. and there are some parallels between migraine and epilepsy, as well as migraine and heart defects. soooo, I'm wondering what the future looks like down the line.

Re: COVID-19 News and Discussions
It has been officially confirmed the virus does cross the blood-brain barrier, so it is not surprising at all.

Well here in the UK we've decided that only the oldest people can get the latest shot, because Covid and Long Covid don't affect middle aged or younger people (apparently).yet another reason to keep up with annual immunizations.
Sigh.

Something to reference just in case.
