   #PSA

   Know someone who has #Covid or a "cold" right now or maybe it's you?

   Mark the calendar for 6 (six) weeks from now.

   And track the behavioral changes.

   Yeah. I'm totally serious.

     ✓ Seems confused

     ✓ Can't find the right words, even simpler ones like "door"

     ✓ Gets overwhelmed easily

     ✓ Can't handle two(2) of these at the same time:
     • persons talking
     • music playing
     • tv on, even in another room

     ✓ Answers slowly like waiting for the words to catch up

     ✓ Angers quickly & suddenly... often because overwhelm hits hard & stopping the noise is literally *survival*

     ✓ HUNGER! Sudden & ravenous (brains use more energy than you realize)

     ✓ NAPS! (see above)

     And I'm willing to bet that a helluva lot more people show these symptoms at 6 weeks than the official long covid count of "10%" (one out of every 10 people).

     Most don't report it. Most think it's just getting old, or some other reason.

     COUNT!!

     SIX WEEKS!!

     Then get back to me.
