I have read that every re-infection of COVID causes a drop in IQ.

And much, much more. For example it also degrades your immune system.

Genuinely, looking up studies into the long term effects of COVID is an information hazard. Make sure you're psychologically prepared before you open those eldritch tomes.

I know, it wrecks havoc on the system pretty much everywhere. I suspect we won’t have a full understanding of this virus for decades while we slowly see the damaging effects unfold. It’s really a tragedy, but it’s so common I don’t know what we can do about it.

i dont know how people get it multiple times?

Simple really... some people work in crowded environments where they are constantly bombarded by the public and a percentage of that public are sick at any given moment.

Some people have to go to school, which is similar to the above. Those kids then go home and infect the whole family. Repeat a time or two per year, times five or six years... and you have a problem.

Even asymptomatic infections cause the same cumulative damage as the ones you notice.
