Reacción a "Reactions: study says persistent colds may follow acute respiratory infections"

The study supports previous findings that long-term symptoms are common after respiratory infections in general, not just following COVID-19.  However, COVID-19 infection was associated with a higher risk of several complaints, including memory problems, suggesting that ‘brain fog’ may be particularly related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.  A strength of the study is its prospective, UK population-based nature. A weakness is the relatively small number of non-COVID-19 infection cases.
