There will be “intergenerational consequences for child growth and development.”
...
lockdowns and school closures are doing more harm to children than the coronavirus itself, with many more deaths expected to come from the reaction to the outbreak, rather than the pandemic itself.
...
UNICEF director Henrietta H Fore said Monday, “The repercussions of the pandemic are causing more harm to children than the disease itself.”
UNICEF nutrition program chief Victor Aguayo noted that the most harm is being done “by having schools closed, by having primary health care services disrupted, by having nutritional programs dysfunctional.”
The officials pointed to a study published in The Lancet that notes “physical distancing, school closures, trade restrictions, and country lockdowns” are worsening global child malnutrition.
The study estimates that an extra 6.7 million children will be at risk, and that lockdowns and other coronavirus responses could lead to more than 10,000 additional child deaths every month.
...
lockdowns will conservatively “destroy at least seven times more years of human life” than they save.
The German government has concluded that the impact of the country’s lockdown could end up killing more people than the coronavirus due to victims of other serious illnesses not receiving treatment.
As we have previously highlighted, in the UK there have already been up to 10,000 excess deaths as a result of seriously ill people avoiding hospitals due to COVID-19 or not having their hospital treatments cancelled.
A data analyst consortium in South Africa also found that the economic consequences of the country’s lockdown will lead to 29 times more people dying than the coronavirus itself.
Hundreds of doctors are also on record as opposing lockdown measures, warning that they will cause more death than the coronavirus itself.

From the UN, most likely fake study...
Unlike some here I hope the brainwashing centers stay closed permanently or at least long enough that a real education system takes its place.
I guess these children can’t be indoctrinated at home so easily, plus they are missing the gender choice special education..a shame to make parents a part of education again.

These Democrat politicians don’t care. The pandemic hysteria is nothing more than their latest strategy to get rid of Trump before he can expose the truth about them, bring their gravy train to a screeching halt, and throw the lot of them in jail where they belong.
...basically, the public schools system is safer for children that are in violent households and the parents, who are neglecting their children to the point where the death count is rising from domestic abuse/violence... or is it, the leftist public school system needs those funds by having children in those schools to provide them the lowest quality education - while taking the rest of the funding to spend on other things - like supporting more leftist ideology ...? uhm, I wonder ...
Part of that is, when the kids are home all year, lib parents want to kill them.
“ Unlike some here I hope the brainwashing centers stay closed permanently or at least long enough that a real education system takes its place.”
If there is a silver lining it’s that parents who’ve been unhappy with the direction government school has taken but are too busy working and paying bills, now are forced to address this issue of school choice.
The Democrat/Left governors have absolutely no reason give up any of their vast self-annointed new powers no matter how many people they continue to hurt -- inflicting real pain in all its forms: financial, mental, physical, societal. These vile governors really have a taste for it now ... and they relish in it with apparently no one in the federal government willing to put an end to their tyranny. We are truly at the mercy of the unquestionable, unchallengable vile governors.
