The inconvenient fact incontrovertibly established by a non-peer reviewed paper that most of HN probably just read the abstract of anyways?

I "love" how you and the comment below can take a "be gentle with each other" comment and turn it into a springboard for your anti-lockdown rhetoric.

Anecdotal, but I have a 5 and a 3 years old and missed nursery has been terrible for their development.

You don't even need a study for this, it's just common sense for people who have interacted with a toddler in their life before and after nursery (after 2-3 years old, I wouldn't recommend sending them before - they tend to not be ready for social life and not having one dedicated adult to them)

Lots of common sense things turn out to be false, and the plural of anecdote is not data. We absolutely need studies.
