Wow that's terrible. Well.. science has major incentive to find cures now. How many have long covid? Or maybe even subclinical long covid that may silently boost Alzheimer's risk?
On a more positive note, they recently found that there is some sort of frequency that may enhance / trigger the natural junk clearance mechanisms that go on during sleep.

I believe you are referencing [0], where scientists discovered that in mouse models the naturally occurring brainwaves generated during sleep help clean up extra cellular 'junk' in the brain via the glymphatic system.
It has been known since 2012 that the glymphatic system (which was discovered around that time) was a mechanism for cleaning the brain. And even back then there was speculation around if Alzheimer patients had some kind of damage to this system which caused the build up of amyloid proteins.
I have yet to see any research conducted on figuring that out (but it may exist).
