Lockdown Hangovers

The economic damage caused by the lockdowns was bad enough and obvious to most, but there’s another side to that travesty that is less talked about.

The lockdown babies are now starting school, and the impact of their extraordinary early days is stark. “There’s a school in Birmingham where more than half the children entering [Reception] were still wearing nappies,” says Paskins. “Before the pandemic there might have been one or two. Now more than half have that developmental delay, and what that means in terms of how children are able to learn and function.”

The other thing that was really bad about Covid and the lockdown was that we were threatened with the idea that if we passed it on to somebody, we’d almost be responsible for their death. It just made life so miserable.”

She adds: “A lot of people have never really quite recovered. I would say it took me at least two years, and even now lots of my friendships are impacted.”

  1. I know a few “kids” (older teens) that are germaphobic now. Wipe their computers, books, phones, eveverything when they come back from school.

    1. So sad especially because there is no covid.
      I’m 67 never vaxxed, I take no precautions, I’m not super healthy, nor am i on a diet of Vitamin D and Ivermectin. Plus I have jeen exposed to what must be thousands of people. Yedlt I haven’t had so much as a sniffle.

      1. Same here, I’m 68, I’ve never even had a flu shot, never mind the zyclon B shot, healthy as a horse lol

  2. Kids of school age not toilet trained? (Among other bizarre things.) Blame the Covid lockdown? No, blame their idiot parents.

    1. That was my first thought. My kids were all totally toilet trained by age 2, long before any thought of school. Useless parents.

      1. No worries. These young kids identify with toilet-trained 5-year olds that don’t befoul themselves, so it’s all good.

    1. These kids will be our doctors 20 years from now.

      You want Dr. Xim who peed ximself until xe was 15 to perform your operation?
      Better hope the robots improve drastically.

  3. Gee can you tell I’m simmering from being thrown in the hole for two years.. Stunning that the politicians that did this are still standing or walked away clean.. IMO criminals..

  4. Treat people like animals and they’ll act like animals. And then treat them like animals.

    Evil Liberals got the people where they want them.
