Stuck in a fog? You’re not alone

IS ANYONE else feeling a bit foggy-headed at the moment? I certainly am – constantly forgetting where I put my keys and struggling to focus on simple tasks. I was glad to read last week that I am not alone.

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford found a ‘worrying’ rise in incidences of brain fog following Covid. The scientists have linked this to the infection itself, but I am convinced it’s the result of the miserable lockdowns and social restrictions.

Even now, more than two years on, work and some social activities remain disrupted for many of us.

It is no surprise that the biggest change to our daily lives in decades has made us all a bit discombobulated. So go easy on yourself if you’re not as sharp as you were pre-Covid – we’re all in the same boat.
