The "pre post" is not much of a design, unless we've had a long-term practice to force random healthy people into scanning their brains, or we have a time machine.

There are always medical studies running for other purposes that involve doing brain scans on otherwise healthy people. One of my relatives participated in such a study. Presumably those same subjects could be enrolled in a "pre post" study for COVID-19 effects.

Nonetheless, it would be a better design. Horribly impractical, but really useful.
