Not sure if others have experienced this, but you tend to forget nouns (object names, names of people, places, etc) after getting hit with COVID. I googled about this and something called "anomic aphasia" came up.

I often caught myself saying "that thing" many times because I couldn't recall the names of even basic objects or street names, etc after getting hit with Omicron.

Just curious if others have experienced this as well.

Sounds like having children. My mum could never get our names right and I could never understand why. Had children, now I do exactly the same thing. Still don't really understand why though tbh.
