How COVID effected the children. And the elderly. It's been five years now that the Obama-Biden Pandemic struck. Below are just a few of the effects.
One of the silver linings during the COVID-19 pandemic was that the virus didn't affect children as severely as it did adults.
Still, even though they were much less prone to need hospitalization with COVID-19, kids were harmed by a variety of downstream effects of the pandemic: educational losses, mental health challenges, and medical problems such as missing routine immunizations or delays in care for chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma.
Look at the children in lockdowns. In your poor districts, the two meals a day children received in school were gone. And the elderly?
Older adults are known to experience loneliness, age discrimination, and excessive worry. It is therefore reasonable to anticipate that they would experience greater negative outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic given their increased isolation and risk for complications than younger adults.
The nursing home lockdowns. The presence of psychological symptoms, exacerbation of ageism, and physical deterioration of aged populations were reported in the included studies. Decreased social life and fewer in-person social interactions reported during the COVID-19 pandemic were occasionally associated with reduced quality of life and increased depression. Difficulties accessing services, sleep disturbances, and a reduction of physical activity were also noted.
