Face Blindness and Long Covid

[idontrecogniseyou]

I've name changed for this thread.
I just read an article that some Long Covid patients suffer from face blindness ( not being able to recognise people you should recognise ).

I don't think I have Long Covid ( apart from tiredness) but I definitely am having a small problem recognising acquaintances, especially if they are wearing those bobble hats and only their face is visible, not their hair.

I'd ratter it was Long Covid than the start of cognitive decline.

Has anyone else developed this face blindness ?
I have no problem recognising loved ones, friends and famous people. But people I have only met once or twice I do find problematic. I am normally very observant.

I'm pretty sure these articles are just coming from a case study rather than something well powered and representative? As far as I know, no robust evidence to suggest a mild/moderate COVID infection is associated with prosopagnosia.

If you're having cognitive/neurological symptoms, I would always recommend getting it checked out. There's a tendancy to blame everything on COVID (or vaccines) and you don't want to dismiss something that 4 years ago you might've taken more seriously.

1-2% of people have face blindness and most are born with it. I don't know any evidence that it is linked to covid.

Thank you for your replies.
