The Search Process

Where is this search going??

It's tempting to believe good news. But are there really fewer premature babies in lockdown? We're likely clutching at straws (theconversation.com)

This article highlights an interesting report, that fewer infants were born very prematurely during this past year, in comparison to previous years. Although it is mainly reports observations at this point in time, it would be great if this conversation led to researchers trying to find the cause or causes of what may have happened to influence this. At this point it is just speculation as to cause, but it is such a worthy topic to explore.
