Unfortunately, a COVID-19 infection could do permanent damage to the brain. A study published last year in JAMA discovered that one-third of COVID infected patients in Wuhan, China, experienced neurological problems.

Forever!
Wow!
What lasts forever?

My husband has had swallowing problems for 8 months post Covid.
