Had they tested these people before and after? Aswell as those who had no illness at the time and others who where ill at the time from other comparable illness?
Living through a pandemic ill or not from the source virus etc can be stressful and cause cognitive issues.
Any chance you have a link to the research. thanks.

Link as in earlier post - but it is paywalled.


Here is some more:


"The team from Imperial College, the University of Cambridge, University of Chicago and King’s College London also found that coronavirus survivors scored poorly on tests for logic and the meaning of words, spatial orientation, maintaining attention and processing their emotions, compared with those unaffected by the disease.
The results should act as a “clarion call” for further work to be carried out on how Covid affects the brain, according to the paper. It added: “Individuals who recovered from suspected or confirmed Covid-19 perform worse on cognitive tests in multiple domains than would be expected, given their detailed age and demographic profiles.
“This deficit scales with symptom severity and is evident among those without hospital treatment.”
In the study participants were asked to carry out nine challenges to assess their cognitive function and the results were then analysed by a team of experts. To avoid bias, subjects were not told that the study was assessing the impact of Covid until after they completed the tasks.
Of the 84,285 people who took part, 60 reported being put on a ventilator due to Covid-19 and 147 were cared for in hospital without a ventilator.
A further 176 needed medical care at home for breathing difficulties, 3,466 had breathing difficulties but received no medical aid and 9,201 reported being ill without breathing symptoms.
The authors did note that time spent in intensive care or on a ventilator for any disease will have an impact on cognitive function.
Until now there has been little clinical data gathered on the cognitive impact of the disease. Anecdotally, survivors and their doctors have reported a series of symptoms of “long Covid”, the most common being unshakeable fatigue and weariness.
The initial study was conducted in May and further work is being conducted to assess the cognitive impact on those subjects several months after recovery. To get a deeper understanding of the damage to the brain, the team will also cross-reference the results from the behavioural study with detailed imaging.
The data was taken from the Great British Intelligence Test and participants are being encouraged to join the continuing research at gbit.cognitron.co.uk."

No surprise after the White House said they can't or won't control the pandemic

What was the case positivity rate in NI today do we know?

It is COVID related and growing confidence that Biden will take the WH

Yeah White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has said Covid cannot be controlled, "we have lost the battle" I don't think he meant to say it out loud :rolleyes:

One day old, even though we've known for months they don't care about it.

To be fair if the markets tank trump will probably start to do something about it.

But by then he will have been voted out - so he probably just wants to leave Biden a complete ****show

If Biden wins, he won't have executive powers until 20th January... that's three months that this pandemic could be raging while a lame duck Trump abdicates any responsibility for it. Not good.

Down 900 points, seems to be just poor sentiment due to rising US and European COVID cases.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/25/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html

Basically people aren’t spending money. Companies are holding off on investments and there’s a wave of debt defaults happening in the USA at the moment, mixture of mortgage defaults and corporate bankruptcies.

I think we’re only beginning to see the edges of an impending deep recession. There’s also far too much politics being played around stimulus packages in both the US and Europe, despite lots of cheap money available.

white house admitted yesterday they can't control the pandemic. cases and hospitalizations rising and no stimulus likely anytime soon.

Thanks 1641.
I look foward to readong it in more detail. Seems like one of my questions answered re ventillation and other diseases. But it looks like from the above that people who were not ill where also affected. And there may be bias on how the data was collected if by self reporting and interest to contribute in the first place. I think the follow up research that they mention will be the more important of both parts. Thanks again.

Trump's sun is all but set. The WH will be returned to adults and normal people in the next few weeks.

Liege in Belgium has 1 in 3 of those who can get tested testing positive and they are asking doctors who are infected but asymptomatic to keep working

In fairness Biden is not going to do anything about it either. So, the election is irrelevant with regards to the pandemic.

Dublin still just hanging around the mid 200s like a bold bastard.

Level 3 will never fix Dublin i think that's clear now

harr

Good to see cases still stable, don’t like to see an increase in hospital numbers but that was probably to be excepted with the increased cases the last few weeks .

Yep stubbornly stuck there

Hopefully it starts to decrease later this week

Don't put a hex on that FGS. But I get your hopefullness.

We shall see. Probably won't see the results for weeks anyway.

Not so sure about that. Meath and Kildare both have higher rates than Dublin, I think it's reasonable to believe that is impacting infection rates in Dublin.

4 at least with the odd day below 200
