I sometimes compare the pandemic and children living through WW2 in some degree. As in disruption to schooling, being isolated as in being evacuated . fear of family well-being socialisation being disrupted.

I don’t know if there were any studies done after the war or afterwards about the war generation. It will be interesting to see.

Yeah I agree I think it would be interesting. There's been plenty of other wars since WWII though that could be used, Ukraine for one.
