Unintended 7

Results of the widespread lockdown during Covid are still being studied. Unintended consequences descended heavily on children, including mental health issues.

Learning progress declined when schools were shut down according to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) despite the Zoom alternative where kids could still watch virtual classes on their computers. 

A study has been completed by the Hoover Institution at Stanford University to assess how that loss of learning will affect both the students themselves and their states economically. Overall, for instance, the state of California will lose GDP of $1.7 trillion because it.

But persons who were in school during the pandemic lockdowns will feel it personally. When all factors are considered over their earning lifetime, the financial loss resulting from the learning loss could amount to $70,000 less (than what they would have made).
