I'd definitely take the ones that make you jump higher, then I wouldn't have to get the ladder out to get over the fence when I kick the dogs toy into the neighbor's yard.

Reply to How do you guys read books? by HalboAngel

For me it depends on the book and how complicated the language is. Sometimes I can read without saying most words and still get the whole story other times I have to slow it down and read with the head voice.

Reply to Covid-19 linked to excessive destruction of connections between nerve cells in new brain model. The findings could help to identify new treatments against persistent cognitive symptoms after a Covid-19 infection. by MistWeaver80

If this is happening in the brains of everyone that has gotten Covid boy oh boy are we in for some big trouble in the next 10-30 years. I’m sure we will see higher risk for certain neurodegenerative disease in some demographics where infection wasn’t controlled well. Hopefully vaccinations help lower the risk that these brain complications happen.

I am assuming other strong viral infections can cause similar things but I don’t know anything, I’m just a dumb person .

We are getting really good and saving mice!

But seriously, hopefully something like this can move into human trials quickly.
