But as two new studies published in the past week show, severe COVID isn’t the only risk faced by those with the disease. New findings in JAMA Psychiatry find that levels of mental illness such as depression, anxiety and self-harm are elevated after a COVID-19 diagnosis. Additionally, a new study published in Scientific Reports found that patients who lost their sense of smell after a COVID infection saw long-term structural changes to their brains as well as a tendency to more impulsive behaviors.

What! Wow. I didn’t know that, you’re telling me now for the first time.

        He played the part of plague rat one New Year night and called anyone that didn’t go out that night and party to his satisfaction (“kiss a stranger” and the like), whether they had concerns about covid or otherwise, “shut-ins” that were “not normal” and were “embarrassing leftism.” Some mysterious accounts showed up to bully and harass those “shut-ins” for days afterward long after he vanished in a puff of douchebaggery like the plague rat he was.
