        I think they found roughly similar estimates for all patients (or non-hospitalised patients specifically) toohttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(21)00084-5/fulltext …

        I think it was one in three overall, but higher in people in intensive care.

        Nothing to do with the fact that facing your possible death & subsequent sudden disablement with no idea when recovery, treatment or support will come from. Of course there is a brain component but the impact of the other things, including bad leadership & journalism 💩 😒

        The 1 in 3 headline is misleading. The headline really should have been the 44% increase in neurological disorders in Covids survivors versus a matched cohort of people with other respiratory diseases. The 44% number is scary enough without sensationalizing.

        Even then, the absolute increase, as the article makes clear, is relatively small. Clearly not unimportant, but still
