Hopefully she won’t breathe water with her mask off either.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. :)

“IQ is junk science.”

Tell that to a member of Mensa.

High CO2 is probably worse than low O2 ... but a mask gives you both so...

After reading the comments here I retract my remark on social interactions. Newborns probably do get a lot, normally, with all the fuss from family and friends.

And in that respect lockdowns and face masks would create a big deficit. Especially if mommy and daddy won’t even show their faces.

Twilight Zone for your first three months could really do a number on you.

“Think for a moment what life was like for a newborn for the first several months before the panic-demic.”

You are correct; I have been saying this since the beginning of this stupidity. Children develop cognitive and social skill in a very particular order...and quickly. It’s not just babies..toddlers and elementary school kids are also going to be very badly affected by this...depending on how “normally” their parents led their lives.

A neighbor has a daughter around 10 or 11 I suppose. The daughter has very limited contact with any other people outside of her family.

I think she played outside in the spring with some kids, but now with the heat the mom says it is too hot to play outside while wearing her mask! Poor kid. The mom is waiting for her to reach the age to have a vaccine so she can get out again!!

3 months old! Seriously?

Geez-O-Pete.. the brain doesn’t really finishing developing until their early 20’s.

How the hell do you even IQ test a 3 Month Old?

IQ is a heritable trait, its limits are set at birth with only a 5 pt variable. This test isn’t measuring IQ.

I sure won't say that I am!

Could I interest you in joining the fight to ban dihydrogen monoxide?
It kills a lot of people every year.

fake news

Babies and children did very well at home with families before Mom’s went to work and left them with babysitters.
