Explains the US.

I would like to see some studies done regarding the effects of this on the service industry. Things still seem really shaky, at least where I am. Orders are always wrong, things forgotten, hard to get help...

I'm not in the service industry, but I have a job where I type numbers often. I have caught myself flipping digits (and other similar errors) far more than I did before I had covid. It's possible that it's subjective and untrue - but I'm fairly convinced at this point, though I don't have other LC symptoms.

It's damn weird.

My son is having a much harder time of it (primarily in non-cognitive ways), and diagnosis, let alone effective treatment, is essentially non-existent.

I've yet to catch it (knock on wood). It does seem like errors are a lot more frequent everywhere I go.
