    IMO, this is caused by children being quarantined away from the “herd”, and not able to ramp up their immunity in time to handle the firehose of new viruses out in the world.

    Viruses are our lifeline to survival.

    Somewhat old news, but still interesting.

    As dishonest as the medical industrial complex has been during these last 2+ years with statistics, it could be just another scare tactic.

    Math skills are down as well. I heard that 5 out of 4 students are below average!

    The first part is true, but not what I bolded. I don't think it's anything quite that profound. Instead of being exposed to them over time we get more at once than usual after being isolated. Viruses are a hazard, not a lifeline, but hospitals do have an easier time handling a trickle over years than all at once.
