And another one, this time from Nature."Results suggest that aggressiveness and inattentiveness of drivers increased significantly after the outbreak of COVID-19, leading to a higher likelihood of severe crashes."

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-024-01576-9. "Blood–brain barrier disruption and sustained systemic inflammation in individuals with long COVID-associated cognitive impairment"
Seems that COVID makes blood get real sticky in the brain and instead of going back after dropping off oxygen, glucose and cholesterol, post-covid blood hangs out and gets in the way, causing inflammation in the brain, making the brain less efficient.
They studied long covid but no reason to believe it is not happening to people who haven't got it bad enough to be classed as such. Just not as good as they were before. Probably doesn't need to be all that sticky to cause problems especially in people inclined to be a bit stupid on the road anyway.
