Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.
They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.
Some of the earliest studies I read about COVID was how it can enter the brain like meningitis and effect a person’s cognitive functions. This was a while back and I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the information, but seeing how much people have seemed to have lost their minds over the last few years makes me think back to that study.
I can’t say I’ve been immune to it either. I have never been “symptomatic”, but the last 3 years have definitely felt more hazy than the times before, and have made me question my own sanity.
thankfully I’d been vaccinated by the time I got symptomatic covid for the first time and I don’t think I had any cognitive effects.
