It's been blindingly obvious from the moment we knew that coronavirus had a 1% IFR pre-vaccine that all of the restrictions have been net negative.
We're now over 2% of our lives into this _by any definition_, which makes it utterly incontrovertible.
That's why we have constant "reminders" everywhere; it's an attempt to bypass logic by simply bombarding people with nonsense.

I'm not discounting that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on child development, I would be surprised if it didn't, but I expected a bit more rigorous data analysis from this paper.
At this point in the pandemic we've should have come up with models that factor in the externalities of lockdown and factor that into policy decisions. That somehow still hasn't happened. People say "things are pretty much back to normal" but parents with kids in school know this is not true.
Can anyone speak to the robustness of these Mullen Scales? Especially in the 0-2 age group?
People who support lockdowns aren't interested in facts; their viewpoints are shaped by marketing.
