Needless to say COVID turned America upside down in so many ways! We have never fully recovered. EVIL CHINA! CIA Report Reignites COVID-19 Origins Debate – But China’s Refusal to Share Evidence Stymies Any Conclusion
The true cause of COVD, is just like the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, the American people will never learn the full truth, despite ‘PAPERS’ being released. Do not be fooled.

NASHVILLE (BP)—Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, a Gallup study is sharing parents’ perspectives on how that time has affected their children’s social skills and mental health, as well as its impact on academics.
Nearly half (45 percent) of parents surveyed observe a negative impact of the pandemic on their school-age children. Out of that figure, roughly 22 percent say social difficulty is ongoing. Approximately 42 percent of respondents say the pandemic negatively affected their child’s mental health, with half characterizing it as persistent.
Lisa Moore has served in student and children’s ministry pretty much since marrying her minister husband, Rick, 36 years ago. Incidentally, that is also the amount of time she has been a nurse, the last 30 years in pediatrics.
Moore’s observations through her full-time work in the Pediatric Developmental and Behavioral Health department at Atrium Heath Navicent in Macon, Ga., and 10 years as part-time children’s minister at Lawrence Drive Baptist Church overall align with the study’s findings.
The pandemic’s effects on children appear to be far less noticeable on those she sees heavily involved in church. There is another side she has observed, though
“There are a number of kids who previously came to church and participated who have not returned,” she said. “I feel a lot of that is due to social anxiety.”
She has also seen a change in how eager children are to become involved. There is a noticeable hesitancy among some, a nature she has also observed at times to be passed along by parents.
The fourth and fifth graders of the pandemic are the freshmen and sophomores of today. She said the amount of social isolation from then can still be seen. More Here
