1/ A while back I asked for information about how kids were coping with the lockdown. I received many answers. Unfortunately I got busy and didn’t post any. I apologize to everyone who took the time to write. A sampling follows. Warning: it’s upsetting.

2/ Kids with special needs are particularly hard hit.

3/ Children with autism have had their routines disrupted and are having a difficult time adapting.

4/ High school seniors are being denied their only chance at graduation and prom:

5/ Toddlers and little kids don’t understand why they cannot play outside, and elementary school kids are desperate to see friends and increasingly depressed. Aside from that, everything’s fine. Remember: kids are AT ~ZERO RISK. But those 90-year-olds aren’t.

Please feel free to keep sending stories - I’ll update periodically
