More people complain about memory loss during the pandemic

[KSTP-TV News, May 19, 2021] Ever have a hard time remembering what day of the week it is? Doctors are hearing more people complain about memory loss during the pandemic. Some health care professionals describe it as COVID-19 brain fog.

According to Allina Health Neurologist Dr. Jesse Corry, the fogginess in our brains is real.

"We don't have those moments in our life right now to kind of help attach and consolidate other memories too," Corry said. "And so things become almost like Groundhog Day, it's the same day, but for the last 15 months."
