Learned a new long COVID manifestation, even for me, today. My wife was working with a high school kid today who was having problems speaking, with what sounded like a speech impediment. But this kid did not have a speech impediment earlier in the course.
The kid said that she was diagnosed with "COVID induced ventriculitis" and one of the outcomes is a speech impediment.
I was able to find just a couple of papers that mention this.

Keep your damn kids safe out there people!

In the beforetimes I’d be flattered to be followed by a scientist.
But, credentialism clearly has no more merit.
Flattered nonetheless.
