Right at the beginning of coronavirus anosmia was a phenomenon. Are you aware of any other phenomena that have developed further along in terms of coronavirus that are totally new to us? I mean you mentioned this fog, yeah, any other things that you could point to? Neuropathies, I have seen people coming in to the TIA clinic referred as numbness of the feet which is not new actually it's going on for they got COVID and then had developed numbness so well. I know some of my colleagues who are finding it difficult to walk because of the neuropathy.
