One of the ways long COVID presents itself, commonly known as brain fog, is particularly devastating to those suffering with it, say doctors. The New York Times recently reported that, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, more Americans say they have problems with memory, making decisions and other cognitive issues than at any time in the last 15 years.
"If you can take the example of an engineer who works with computers and has to process the information and write down the data and do all kinds of mental calculations and make decisions, they cannot do that because they cannot process the information," said Dr. Naheed Van de Walle, a rehabilitation physician with Hartford HealthCare.
"I see younger people, mostly between I would say 30s to 60s, and some patients are in their 20s," said Dr. Van de Walle. "And I don't see that high an incidence in older people."
