1 and 2. Muttley, do you have any kids in primary school? Teachers, kids charities and other notable professionals have all commented on how kids have regressed or not learnt basic skills like holding cutlery properly, speech problems, anxiety issues rising, kids scared of been near other kids after having two years of 'dont stand next to someone it's dangerous ' drilled into them.
Oh I don't doubt that such problems are being encountered.

Mate, you're down a rabbit hole of self confirmation.The following from an article that people from both sides of the fence will agree is a good article which o found interesting and is what ultimately narks me off with some of the comments on here over the past two years.
"Even if it were possible to isolate the number of deaths prevented through a lockdown, it’s hard to measure other costs and benefits associated with coronavirus policies.
Confining people to their homes may have reduced their odds of spreading the virus. But staying home may have raised other risks, such as domestic abuse, addiction and mental health problems and the harms from delayed treatments for other medical conditions.
Among children, the lack of in-person schooling can hurt learning and raised rates of anxiety, depression and sleep disorders.
Other potential costs can be measured only in the future – such as smaller expected earnings among people whose learning was slowed down.
On the flip side, mask-wearing and social isolation may have had the unintended benefit of temporarily countering seasonal flu, which kills about 40,000 Americans a year. And there may have been technological innovations – like improved video-conferencing – sparked by lockdowns. It’s simply too early to tell.
While the ultimate economic effect of lockdowns may be negative, lockdowns may still be justified if people value a dollar today more than one tomorrow. But policymakers, let alone citizens, simply do not agree how much society should value today’s versus tomorrow’s dollars. Indeed, this perhaps fuels the biggest disagreements over policies with delayed effects."
Lots of mays there agreed. But some are still guilty of refusing to understand the perils that lockdowns caused as underlined above.
Why nobody will ever agree on whether COVID lockdowns were worth it
Different people and groups have differing, and often opposing, goals that they value differently. That makes public discussion, compromise and agreement difficult.
whilst our PM was busy organising parties with his chums in number 10 - that’s how deadly they all thought it was. They spent the best part of two years pounding us with a terror campaign for what was essentially a case of the sniffles or no symptoms at all for most who got it
Lockdowns did what they were supposed to do - make things worse for all of us “plebs”.
There has never been a point in history where healthy people have been asked to quarantine themselves, it is just too stupid for words - it’s like taking a demolition ball to crack a walnut, and may i remind you that the U.K. government downgraded covid 19 from a high consequence infection disease to a non high consequence infectious disease just a few days BEFORE they told us all to hide away in our homes
My earlier point proven by one of the merry men. Even an article that is completely central to the argument for or against lockdowns is dismissed because it contains truths that they refuse to comprehend as happening because it hasn't happened to them.
You do realise this would have killed many many more people don't you?
