This could account for the matter-of-factness and lack of alarm in the quiet dreamy voice we hear on the recording.
I read that a significant number of Covid-19 patients have no visible symptoms of the disease, no fever, no cough, no breathlessness, but they are found to have an extremely low blood oxygen saturation level. Combine this with increased cabin altitude and the result could easily be hypoxia and reduced capacity to function. That could account for one hole in the cheese, but of course not why the other pilot didn't take corrective action.
