I see a lot of virologists and other researchers very skeptical of some of the long COVID prevalence numbers.
But if someone can now handle 10-20% less brain work than they used to, that's a huge impact even if it's not being fully disabled. And it can be very tricky to capture with standard cognitive testing unless that person for some reason completed such testing pre-covid.
