Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Early Child Cognitive Development: Initial Findings in a
Longitudinal Observational Study of Child Health
This is a shocking study the way it was reported that the average IQ had dropped substantially, but the reality is worse. The average IQ for kids went from about 100 to about 78. That's bad. But then you realize the spread is wider, so the best kids are barely affected, but the worst kids are incredibly debilitated! The worst hit kids are massively harmed, probably for life.
Early childhood is the time when the brain is wiring itself. This to me says we're going to have a cohort of children who are significantly constrained by the conditions of their first few months.
This isn't caused by COVID. It's caused by government's reaction to COVID.
