This makes me wonder how can one tell that the brain fog is from COVID and not increasing amount of daily stress factors, malnutrition etc etc

Apparently, the type of PET scan used in the paper would be able to do it with a high success rate. Though throwing everyone in a scanner would be an expensive solution.

interesting, I guess brain fog signals are different when the underlying causes are different? should read the article I think
