> The article says that there was a drop on treatment of malnutrition and puts a number 228,000 of deaths on that cause, and in poorer countries this kind of things (along with family violence) are found primarily on schools by teachers. Which obviously can't happen when schools are closed How much of that happens at school and how much is separate? The article doesn't say. Not to mention, closing schools doesn't mean that the government(s) couldn't provide healthcare services in other ways. If I lock my dining room and starve, I didn't starve because I locked the room. I starved because I stopped eating. > Increased unemployment is a direct consequence of mandatory lockdowns It's also a direct consequence of everyone stopping spending money or going anywhere on their own accord, because nobody wants to catch a deadly disease. It certainly seems probable that some deaths are directly attributable to lockdowns. This article doesn't give me much idea how many that would be though.
