Covid can drop your IQ by 10 points

[VegasBella]

"Severe Covid cases may cause cognitive impairment equivalent to aging 20 years and losing 10 IQ points, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London, adding to a growing body of evidence that coronavirus infections can lead to long-term cognitive and mental health issues.

Severe Covid Can Drop Your IQ 10 Points, Study Suggests

A new study from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London suggests severe Covid-19 cases can cause cognitive issues equivalent to aging 20 years.

What if you had Covid AND were vaccinated?

Recent analysis from both the UK and Israel give positive signs for those with breakthrough infections, although Omicron is yet to be assessed.

I 'spose you age less & lose fewer IQ points...
But then, you prolly also had more to start with.

Activity here certainly supports your hypothesis.

indeed (for some posters )

I don’t know why but this thread makes me think of this.

I guess this is one area where high IQ people have an advantage!

Reading the TUG Covid Forum on a regular basis can drop your IQ by 50 points.

The evidence is indisputable.

I hear that drinking bleach can reverse the loss of IQ.

I know that using the proper dose of bleach in drinking water has health benefits including killing viruses such as covid.

What is the proper dose of bleach I should dump into a 12 oz tumbler to kill viruses and not myself?

The dose is 8 drops per gallon of unscented bleach. That means the ratio is 8 drops to 128 ounces. You might want to use 16 ounces and 1 drop.

Thanks.

Bleach baths can also be helpful for severe eczema.

You're kidding, right? RIGHT?

just a "proper" dose

 

[easyrider]

No kidding. I have chlorine tablets to disinfect water when we go outdoors as well as a small chlorine dropper in my first aid kit. The ratio to disinfect 16 ounces of water is 1 drop of chlorine because the ratio to disinfect a gallon is 8 drops. A half gallon would take 4 drops, a quart would take 2 drops and a pint would take 1 drop.

The thought at one time was could we increase the amount of disinfectant to reduce viral load in the throat. Studies suggest that adding more chlorine to drinking water might have a benefit in reducing viral load in people drinking this water. The person that suggested this was totally mocked in the media even though there may be merritt to what he said.

Various studies have shown that the coronavirus can survive in hospital wastewater, household wastewater, and tap water for up to 14 days at 4 °C, but at a temperature of 20 °C, it survives for only 3 days. Free chlorine has also been shown to be more effective in inactivating SARS-CoV than chlorine dioxide [20].

YOU were challenged in threads about using bleach and other substances to "reduce the viral load" BECAUSE YOU ADMITTED THAT YOU WERE DOING IT TO MASK A POSITIVE COVID TEST RESULT SO THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE SUBJECT TO COVID-RELATED TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS!!!

Yes, I am yelling. Nobody ever disagreed with you that it could be done. The disagreement was whether it should be done. And for the purpose you intended, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE because you were risking the health of everyone around you if you were infected and effectively masked that fact.

As for the so-called "experts" that you found who were thinking beyond your nefarious purposes, who were actually trying to establish whether ingesting bleach or other substances in safe quantities could be a viable option to kill the virus, their theory was NEVER substantiated through the normal, existing approval processes.

I wasn't using bleach to pass a covid test. I use Lugols Solution which is an iodine supplement in a sinus rinse to prevent covid infection. A benefit of this is it does reduce viral load and increases the likelihood of a negative covid test. No, I wasn't risking anyone's health because by using the sinus wash and other interventions I haven't had covid.

It isn't a theory that using a disinfectant in water kills virus. It is what we actually do in most municipal water systems. The research on using chlorine dioxide to fight covid is valid but because #45 said as much it was ridiculed.

I used iodine pills when backpacking to purify water.

Are we talking about using bleach in water to kill potential bad pathogens in the water, as might be found while getting water from a stream while camping. We do know what bears do in the woods?
Or are we talking about ingesting bleach into our body to kill pathogens?
What does Fauci say?

 

[MrockStar]

Who cares, most of have stopped listening to him since he has lost most all credibility long ago.
