So what does this mean, need more research?

The part that needs more research is the level of difference between hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID patients. They only had 15 who were hospitalized.

Also ...

That depends on why the earlier brain scans were done.

edit - I didn't find discussion on the UK one, but an Australian study found those with some health concerns were more likely to accept the invitation. Not surprising.

If you weren't aware, you're shadow-banned. You've been commenting into the void for over a year.

His post history looks fine and readable to me.

Yeah people often have been shadow banned years ago, but commenting reasonably constructive things since not knowing almost nobody sees it. It’s sad.

he’s not shadow banned. We can all see his comments.

You can see that one because I vouched for it. Can you not see a year or more of dead comments? Do you have show-dead enabled? Most users don’t.

I'm seeing a ton of [dead] comments in his comments page. Maybe you don't have showdead enabled so you're only seeing the non dead comments?

Wow, that is amazing.

Out of context much?

From the abstract:

> We identified significant effects of COVID-19 in the brain with a loss of grey matter in the left parahippocampal gyrus, the left lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the left insula. When looking over the entire cortical surface, these results extended to the anterior cingulate cortex, supramarginal gyrus and temporal pole. We further compared COVID-19 patients who had been hospitalised (n=15) with those who had not (n=379), and while results were not significant, we found comparatively similar findings to the COVID-19 vs control group comparison [...]
