Covid-brained (adj): a description of somebody who is behaving completely irrationally.
Yes, it's a sad thing - and I hope people aren't making fun of the syndrome.
Delirium, high fever and severe brain fog are real symptoms of Covid-19 with the brain fog lasting months for those who suffer through the long covid syndrome.
In January of 2020 I had some sickness, possibly covid-19, and I was really delirious and said some super weird things to the few people I spoke with during that time. It was really sad that I was not thinking rationally and saying crazy things, but thankfully it was temporary.
I THINK I have recovered totally, as I don't catch myself behaving or talking irrationally 2 years later. I have a problem trying to laugh about it, even now, because I accused a friend of some weird things that he probably didn't do, but I wasn't able to think right.
It was meant as sarcasm (yes, I know that is the lowest form of wit) about people who make manifestly irrational decisions.
As somebody with my own mental health issues, I can identify with what you went through.
@anglophone Okay - I wasn't sure the purpose of the comment. Thanks for the clarification.
