Dr. Scott Atlas reports a 35% increase in emergency room visits for severe child abuse during the lockdown, citing a direct correlation with unemployment and household stress. The closure of schools has removed the primary environment where abuse is detected by outside professionals. Additionally, the lack of school lunch programs and health screenings for vision and hearing is described as a "heinous misapplication of public policy."
