Long COVID & Face Blindness

My sister finally is recovering from long COVID. But now she doesn’t recognize me anymore. What in the world is that about?

 It’s called “Face Blindness,” or prosopagnosia. Recently it has been identified as a potential side-effect from long COVID in addition to the more familiar symptoms of fatigue, “brain fog,” and loss of taste and/or smell. New research is linking prosopagnosia—an inability to recognize faces—to a potential side-effect of long COVID. Estimates are that more than 1% of the general population have difficulty recognizing faces. The severity can run the gamut from difficulty following some TV shows because all the faces look the same to not even recognizing their own face in the mirror or in pictures. Now it’s beginning to look like it can be a developed side-effect of long COVID. More tomorrow.
