Edited: Some OF the cognitive decline you are seeing more recently is from long term inflammation caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, and PASC "LongCovid". Cognitive decline can last for a year or more after infection, even mild cases. The average in the US is 4+ cases per person. Someone might take a hit to their cognitive function, start to make progress on recovery, and then gets a second infection which takes them down further.
Decreases in frequency-dependent intrinsic activity of the default mode network are associated with depression and cognition in patients with postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39869209/

Does it explain 2016 though
Er, no, I'm pretty sure 2016 was before SARS-CoV-2 historically speaking. Time is funny that way; maybe go ask a physicist about it sometime. Do you often ask questions, without a question mark, like above?
