Covid and Brain Damage 

Anxiety? Let's break down this study in simple terms to show how #Covid damages the brain. Without being anxious and stressed, the virus that enters through your nose goes through the blood (sa dugo) and the cerebrospinal fluid --that fluid found in Your backbone. This triggers the release of molecules that causes inflammation(pamamaga). The immune cells in the brain (microglia) are then activated.

Their activation leads to loss of oligodendrocytes (nerve cells in the brain) as well as myelin sheaths -- the lining of The nerves which help transmit electrical impulses through the nerves so these can send signals to your brain. (Parang wire ng kuryente na nabalatan Kaya may ground). This leads to cognitive dysfunction (you become dumb. Nagiging mas tanga ka kasi di ka makaisip ng derecho)

And memory loss (nagiging malilimutin ka). What's worrying is that this is the same problem encountered by those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases like #Alzheimer's and #dementia. So, surprise! It's not psychological and it hell ain't anxiety or stress. #BrainFog Is an understatement. It's brain damage. Bonus: it happens even when your initial symptoms are mild.
