Children during COVID period

                We see how the world changed during the COVID19 pandemic. The world changed for adults, and the world changed for children. To cut the chains of infection, governments worldwide decide to lockdown their citizens at home.

The lockdown cause that people lost their jobs, their business, and left with debt and no money to survive. Some governments compensated the citizen by deposit money to their bank accounts and delayed or canceled tax payment for those months.

However, this was not enough, and people went out to the street to protest to open the lockdown to save their jobs and business.

Although the main casualties were among the adults, the children's world has been radically 

changed. In some countries, the education system has been shutdown. There are no schools, no kindergartens, no formal education frames. The education system is shut down for over a year now, and there is no alternative for a school like remote learning because of the lack of computer and Internet connection.

Thus, I am very concerned about this situation. In Israel, the children, especially the kindergarten and first-grade school children, that started school only two weeks ago, are forced by the lockdown to stay at home.

My thoughts are that those children and their parents have no certainty about how this year be. I think about their families, how they will adjust to life with COVID19 with no escape from home to a playground, parks, and after school education.

 I'm not worried about the adult. I'm concerned for the children that live in small apartments with many other brothers and sisters.

I'm concerned that they don't have what they need to live their life properly. These are the hardships of those who can't tell us. I'm worried about how long this is going to last. I've lived my life, but what about the little dreams of the kids who want to meet friends, go outside to the playground. Again lockdown with restrictions that are not always clear to us.

I worry about the near future and the far future. I don't really care what happens in economics. I care more about what happens to the little soul of the children when God no longer feels sorry for kindergartners' kids.
