 Another sign that we are doing damage to large shares of the population would also be that disabilities rise to record levels--just like they are today. The level of disabilities had stayed roughly level from 2015 to 2020, but since July 2020 (after the first surge of COVID), we've seen a considerable rise. Today, the number of disabled Americans is 10% higher than at any point before 2020. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=QaRH
