- urbandw311er 3y ago3 points _on average_ It’s troubling. Who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes?
- funcDropShadow 3y agoFrom the article: > In the same study, those who had mild and resolved COVID-19 showed cognitive decline equivalent to a three-point loss of IQ. In comparison, those with unresolved persistent symptoms, such as people with persistent shortness of breath or fatigue, had a six-point loss in IQ. Those who had been admitted to the intensive care unit for COVID-19 had a nine-point loss in IQ. Reinfection with the virus contributed an additional two-point loss in IQ, as compared with no reinfection. That is troubling
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoAre you serious? If this said "most people only lost one finger due to COVID," would you get excited? This is no laughing matter, but extreme damage to the population.
- rokkamokka 3y agoMore like "lost 3% mobility in their fingers on average", I suppose
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoThe analogy is just to make a point; intelligence, the main part of being human, is rather more important than mobility in fingers.
