All usual considerations for preliminary studies and surprising findings, but absolutely true, if this pans out, it could be a game changer. Keep your powder try for the moment, but hopeful for sure.

These results support larger cross sectional findings indicating that mild Wildtype SARS-CoV-2 infection can be followed by small changes in cognition and memory that persist for at least a year.
