    Abstract

    People are obsessed with the short-term effects of Covid, prioritising them over the longer-term impacts. “It was just like a minor cold, really”, they say, perhaps not realising that even mild cases of Covid have been shown to cause lasting cognitive impairment. But I also take exception with this comparison to the common cold. Because, for me, a simple cold led to lifelong disability and severe chronic health problems.
