The coronavirus can cause a drop in IQ

The consequences of covid turned out to be comparable to a cranial brain injury - a person can lose up to six IQ points a year due to the disease.

"We are talking about the so-called "brain fog" - one of the long-term consequences of being infected with the coronavirus. Patients complained of memory impairment, reduced concentration, sleep problems, depression, increased fatigue, apathy and other symptoms.

As experts have found out, "brain fog" can take up to six IQ points from a person in a year.

Deficits were primarily found in cognitive domains related to memory, spatial planning, and verbal reasoning. Experts noted that a six-point decrease in IQ has little effect on the daily life of an individual, but may be significant at the population level, given the scale of the pandemic."

"Brain fog" in a person is easy to detect if it suddenly became difficult for him to choose the wording in a conversation and words that he used to use regularly began to "fly out of his head".
