One of the less known impacts of Covid infection is aging. It causes cells to age much more quickly. Laura Miers had a mild case of Covid, before developing Long Covid. She’s now had to change her identity picture in systems and on her licence 5 times in the past 2 years, because the face recognition software stopped recognising her. With Albo, who knows if it’s just make-up and hair dye in play here. But he had Covid twice in 2022, and doesn’t sound well even now.
