Accepted Answer

: Over the past ~ 2years we have seen reports that suggest the germ can go everywhere in the body and potentially cause injury. That said, brain injury/damage is not one of the common sites affected. All people are genetically different in many ways &amp; some will have issues that others will not. I would live life &amp; expect all your faculties to return to baseline level. Worry won't change outcome.
