I’d compare this to large format film cameras. By raw resolution, large format film cameras are still far and above what is achievable digitally.

I find it hard to understand why cognitive impairment due to COVID-19 is not discussed more.

Cognitive impairment is a terrifying idea but I think it’s important to balance the risk of COVID-associated cognitive impairment with the risk of cognitive decline that would result from whatever social isolation would be necessary to avoid COVID.

Is cognitive decline due to COVID really comparable to that of lead exposure? If so, I’d really appreciate more concrete information to put the risk into context.

It’s worth noting the conclusion includes “Longer-term persistence of cognitive deficits and any clinical implications remain uncertain.”
