Lockdown restrictions, including adults wearing face masks, has left a
generation of babies and toddlers struggling with speech and social
skills, according to an official report.

Inspectors working for Ofsted found that infants being surrounded by
adults wearing face masks for significant periods of time over the
last two years has damaged their learning and communication abilities.

Those turning two “will have been surrounded by adults wearing masks
for their whole lives and have therefore been unable to see lip
movements or mouth shapes as regularly,” the report found.

    “Some providers have reported that delays to children’s speech and
language development have led to them not socialising with other
children as readily as they would have expected previously,” it added.

The restrictions also left toddlers struggling with crawling, using
the toilet independently and making friends.

Delays in learning had also regressed some children to the stage where
they needed help with basic tasks such as putting on their coats and
blowing their noses.

    “I’m particularly worried about younger children’s development
which, if left unaddressed, could potentially cause problems for
primary schools down the line,” said chief inspector Amanda Spielman.

We previously highlighted another study out of Germany which found
that the reading ability of children has plummeted compared to
pre-COVID times thanks to lockdown policies that led to the closure of
schools.

Speech therapist Jaclyn Theek said that mask wearing during the
pandemic has caused a 364% increase in patient referrals of babies and
toddlers.

“They’re not making any word attempts and not communicating at all
with their family,” she said, adding that symptoms of autism are also
skyrocketing.

    A speech therapist says her clinic has seen a "364% increase in
patient referrals of babies and toddlers".

    "It's very important kids do see your face to learn, so they're
watching your mouth."

    What the hell have we done?!

Beijing Dispatches Military To Shanghai As Expanded Lockdown Triggers
More Unrest

Beijing Dispatches Military To Shanghai As Expanded Lockdown Triggers
More Unrest

As local authorities expand what was supposed to be a staggered,
nine-day lockdown in Shanghai (China's most populous city and also its
financial hub), the CCP has decided to send in the military as the
backlash worsens in a city that has become a critical battleground in
the government's fight to legitimize its "Zero COVID" policy.

After the city reported a record 9,000 COVID cases, the CCP announced
the deployment of thousands of soldiers and military personnel to
Shanghai in order for them to assist in the mandatory screening of all
25 million inhabitants (the latest in a seemingly interminable policy
of mandatory testing). The next round of nucleic acid tests will begin
Monday. The reinforcements include more than 2,000 military personnel
and another 30,000 "medical workers", per CNN.

The BBC pointed out that the latest lockdown will be "particularly
costly" for China's economy - and for western companies like Tesla and
Disney which have major bases of operations in the city (including
Tesla's Shanghai gigafactory).

On top of this, Shanghai is a hub for semiconductor, electronics, car
manufacturing and China's financial services industry. It is also the
world's busiest shipping port.

The CCP has struggled to meet the needs of the local population, which
has grown restive in the face of shortages of essential goods like
food and medicine. Cases of locals dying after being turned away from
local hospitals for non-COVID-related illnesses have also rattled
them.

Xu Tianchen, China economist for the Economist Intelligence Unit,
warned that short-term supply chain disruptions tied to the city's
lockdown could have a serious impact on China's economy.

    "There will also be ripple effects elsewhere because of the
interconnectedness between Shanghai and other regions of China,
especially the manufacturing hub of the Yangtze River Delta," he said.

What's more, consumer spending in a city known for its luxury
storefronts has also fallen precipitously. Lost business at retailers,
hotels, and restaurants could directly cost Shanghai 3.7% of its
annual GDP.

All of this threatens to undermine China's target for the country's
GDP: the CCP has promised growth of 5.5% this year, but a growing
number of analysts doubt that the government will achieve this goal
(unless its resorts to even larger-than-normal distortions in its
official economic data).

Shanghai isn't the only Chinese city to face mass lockdowns. Shenzhen,
known as China's technology hub, and the Province of Jilin, situated
in China's industrial heartland, have also faced lockdowns earlier in
the year.

But as President Xi has called for increasingly "targeted" COVID
restrictions to minimize the blowback for residents, some have taken
to the country's heavily censored social media platforms to address
the growing chorus of concerns, and to accuse the CCP of breaking its
'social compact' to take care of the population. Locals have been
particularly incensed by the CCP's decision to separate COVID positive
children from their parents, triggering a wave of outrage that swept
across China's social media.

Political pressure has been mounting on Shanghai authorities to both
quell the outbreak and address the growing chorus of concerns from
residents grappling with the costs and inconveniences of the stringent
measures.
