Yes for both mental and physical. Will be difficult to say exactly what contributors are at play with both the illness and vaccinations and how they interact with different people. Short term memory has gone a bit shotty with similar scenarios like Esteban and M_Six. I could be within seconds of having a thought that it just goes poof. I've gotten to the point that if I'm in a meeting and have anything to say (but don't want to interrupt) that I will write it down to ensure I don't lose it. I'm awfully young and haven't had any of these issues pre-COVID.
Not to steer off topic, but on the physical side, my cardiovascular and what seems to be my lungs' ability to take oxygen has deteriorated pretty significantly. I've gone as far to get testing done, but results show my lung capacity is fantastic (not that we have prior test results to go against, but at least what is considered "normal"). I remember the first time I had COVID I found out after attempting to bed my new brakes in on my mountain bike. I would typically ride 20+ miles a day 5 or 6 days a week, but bedding my brakes for 15 minutes nearly took it out of me. I otherwise felt fine, but my body was just not getting oxygen and it got pretty scary - especially considering how mundane and the minimal impact bedding brakes has on you on a flat surface. Fast forward to today, and my lungs just feel toast. We've been chalking it up to "long COVID" whatever that is...
