    ⚠️“SUBSTANTIAL DROP” in intelligence—#COVID19 survivors suffer severe cognitive deficit. Patients hospitalised on ventilators saw the biggest drop in on intelligence tests—equal to a **7-point drop in IQ**! Larger than suffering stroke or lead poisoning!🧵https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-linked-to-substantial-drop-in-intelligence-new-research-finds-12364433 …pic.twitter.com/HJ3qxE8Vra

        2) researchers found those who had contracted COVID saw the greatest underperformance on tasks requiring reasoning, planning and problem-solving compared to those who had not had the virus. ➡️ but they found a significant (starred) drop **even in mild patients too**! #LongCovidpic.twitter.com/XgVnC38sMt

        4) I have been warning about cognitive decline for months. The huge increase in risk of anxiety depression and insomnia of 2x higher risk is no coincidence!! See detailed thread 🧵 below.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1326038189971288064 …

        BREAKING—20% of recovering #COVID19 patients develop mental illness within 90 days, says large US study. Increased *first-time diagnosis* of anxiety, depression & insomnia by 2-fold! And researchers also found significantly higher risks of dementia. 🧵 https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-mental-illness-int-idUSKBN27P35N … pic.twitter.com/b6Bf1w7uw6

        5) What is the increase in psychiatric illness after any #COVID19 diagnosis? Up ⬆️ 58%. That is gigantic. This is after any diagnosis of Covid, not just specifically if LongCOVID—this is an overall increase across the board for infected!https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1326046964656590848 …

        Eric Feigl-Ding added,

        Eric Feigl-DingVerified account @DrEricDing
        6) Well, just how much more likely is one to develop *first-time* psychiatric illness or mood disorders or anxiety after #COVID19 diagnosis? Anywhere from 1.58x for risk of psychiatric illness, to 1.79x for risk of mood disorder, compared to a matched control groups. pic.twitter.com/BPT0xSzxuP

        7) Bottomline— you do not want #COVID19 for yourself or anyone you know. And mass infection is not a valid plan!! 📌”findings show that #COVID19 survivors have significantly higher rates of psychiatric diagnoses” (including first time & recurrent)

        8) If only someone warned about the IQ drop from #COVID19 after recovery back in November 2020… sometimes it sucks that we repeat hard pandemic lessons the hard way — especially that we knew much much earlier. Epidemiologists want to honestly vomit regularly. 🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1326294302155214866 …

        15) More worrisome study, cognitive decline in recovered #COVID19 patients was found across severity level—largest among those hospitalized (& also among those not hospitalized). How big decline in hospitalized patients? @AliNouriPhD say **equivalent to -8.5 IQ point drop!!!** https://twitter.com/AliNouriPhD/status/1318967587796099074 … pic.twitter.com/cCsFYOeEZS

        10) We *must must must* now be extra vigilant. There is a lot of studies on waning immunity / vulnerable vaccinated elderly / #DeltaVariant evasiveness — 🇮🇱 is reporting drops in infection efficacy (remember mild COVID still = cognitive deficits), and VE drop for severe too. ⬇️https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1418669720874721283 …

        ⚠️ANOTHER EFFICACY DROP—Not good—Israel 🇮🇱 Ministry of Health just released another vaccine efficacy update due to #DeltaVariant—only 39% Pfizer VE for #COVID19 infection, 40.5% for symptomatic, 88% for hospitalization, 91% for ICU/low oxygen/ death.

        12) the CDC did get one thing right - with the need for indoor air quality improvements especially for schools. IMHO, this is just as important as masks. We need masks, vaccinations and ventilation/ indoor air quality improvementshttps://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1365678603212648461 …

        HUGE—CDC just released NEW indoor air guidance for schools & #COVID19! Now emphasize: “Opening windows, using portable air cleaners, improving building-wide filtration are ways to increase ventilation in school or child care program.” Good, but caveats:🧵 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/ventilation.html … pic.twitter.com/0EMcoprkzR
