    An elderly friend of mine nearly died of what was diagnosed as the flu in January 2020, even though she’d had a flu shot, and she had unexplained brain fog for a long time after. She had test after test to try to figure out what was causing it. Her doctors couldn’t figure it out.

        Yes. She was able to recover, fortunately, and the cognitive impact wasn’t bad enough that you’d notice if you didn’t know her well. But I wondered, after Covid spread around us and brain fog became a well-known aftereffect, if that was actually what she’d had.
