I’ve made a note. Nothing imminent I’m afraid, but it’s not forgotten!

This study is only a single cohort, so can’t do so with this on its own (but have ways to look within-cohort based on school-level variation in disruption). But we’ve tried to be very similar to the Millennium Cohort Study (few years older; finished pre-pandemic) for exactly that reason.

It will pass (he says, in the middle of it again, due to the eldest starting school).

The alternative is, of course, the COVID lockdown. Our eldest had no colds for about the first eleven months of her life due to all that!

My daughter has also tried this, along with signs informing her little sister how to use chairs, and forbidding our dog from going upstairs (which work in a correlation but not causation way, in that he doesn’t go upstairs anyway)
