Can you explain why you think that way? Long covid gives people varying degrees of brainfog and debilitation ranging from simple forgetfulness all the way to being bed bound and needing round the clock care. It seems quite apt to me

The situations are almost entirely unrelated. COVID is a virus that unintentionally spread and in rare cases causes an ongoing reduction in capacity from one's baseline. FfA has a surgical technique which is applied to single person to raise them above their baseline, and then gradually they fall back to their pre-exisitng baseline. Seems like OP was using a tenuous parallel to score some cheap political or perhaps conspiratorial point.

I think the OP is mostly there but didn't stick the landing. I use FfA comparatively to describe a cognitive a-b-a trip. But re-titling the story - that might associate the underlying story details as well.

Nuance needs some exp (for some of us, lots). Hopefully we're patient.
