In August 2021 we shared a study of 672 children showing that toddlers born during pandemic have lower IQ. “Children born during the coronavirus pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor and overall cognitive performance compared with children born before, a US study suggests.”
This week, more of the same has been published:
