The Long Tail of Covid

We’re only just starting to understand some of the potential long term impacts of Covid19. We wanted to shine a light on some of the latest data, research, predictions and trends:

• Alcohol-related deaths spiked in the US - Deaths were up 25 percent in 2020 compared with 2019
• Lockdowns have left young people lacking social skills - An Ofsted report found babies and toddlers struggling to crawl and communicate, low in confidence and with speech and language difficulties
• The pandemic has shaped Gen Z style - from sweatpant ubiquity to ‘camping cool’, hardcore glamour and the Y2K aesthetic
• Generation Covid - UK youth talk about their future, mental health, sociability and .. new hobbies - Hello knitting and pottery!
• US report on the devastating impact of covid on low-income US communities
• Covid-era babies are 'talking' less, signalling potential future reading challenges

We'll keep adding to this list as new trends and data arises. Updated 25th May, 2022.
