As time has gone by since my last post on this blog several months ago I've swung towards the view that the fever I had in March 2020 was indeed Covid-19.
My main reason for that conclusion is a variety of symptoms of the "long Covid" type that have fluctuated from day to day over the last few months.
Particularly frustrating among them is "brain fog".
Sometimes it feels as if I simply can't get my brain into gear. It feels like walking in very sticky treacle - nothing moves.
For example, a couple of minutes ago when I had decided to compose this post I couldn't retrieve the term "brain fog" from my brain! I got as far as "brain something" and the rest of the term simply wouldn't come.
At other times it feels as if my brain is racing but the thoughts won't connect up.
It's frustrating.
Reading and retaining complex information of the kind I need to write posts for the Surviving Boris and Corona Shock blogs is a slow and frustrating process. On some days "brain fog" makes progress zero or negligible.
Finally, however, I think I have some clarity about the failures at the World Health Organisation that allowed the Covid-19 pandemic to happen. You can read about that at the Corona Shock blog.
I also feel I have increasing clarity about the failures by Boris Johnson, Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance in January 2020 which allowed Covid-19 to enter and become established in the UK. You can read about that topic on the Surviving Boris blog.
