As we already understand, the coronavirus only causes problems. We have previously written that COVID-19 ages the brain by as much as 20 years, and it is now known that the disease takes an intelligence quotient (IQ) score from one to six in a person.
Many patients recovering from the coronavirus complain of “brain fog,” which consists of memory loss, decreased concentration, sleep problems, depression, increased fatigue, apathy, and other symptoms. British scientists from Imperial College London conducted a study and found that all this can make a person lose up to six intelligence quotient (IQ) points in a year.
A six-point drop in IQ has little impact on a person’s daily life, but could be significant at a population level given the scale of the epidemic, experts said. Meanwhile, more than 112 thousand people participated in the research. They took an online test specifically designed to measure cognitive abilities.
