Because most know someone that has had covid. Then still its not public knowledge it can be as debilitating as it is, even IQ loss and brain fog effect should be better understood by the public as well.

Plus its not well researched so we should at least be trying to get the symptoms that are proven out there so we can get more information on it

Why is it important to know if someone you know has IQ loss or brain fog from COVID? Should that change how you treat them?

Well I don't think someone adapting to new disabilities or impairments should be punished for it. So if someone is getting PIP'd a few months after returning from covid and aren't performing, I think theres a lot of moral failings as a manager/owner/employer you can have if you don't take it into account.

Also, why is it wrong to want to provide grace to those dealing with it? Like suddenly losing IQ or getting a cognitive impairment is a huge part of someone's life, there are non-invasive and non-condescending ways to support them
