You cherry-picked an exception and ignored the common case. Consider these ones instead:

> families lose their sources of income due to COVID-19

> Approximately 150 million additional children are living in multidimensional poverty – without access to education, health care, housing, nutrition, sanitation or water – due to the COVID-19 pandemic

> At least a third of the world’s schoolchildren – 463 million children globally – were unable to access remote learning when COVID-19 shuttered their schools.

> COVID-19 is increasing global poverty and the nutritional status of the poorest people will deteriorate further.

> COVID-19 is disrupting women’s access to nutrition services.

> violence prevention and response services have been disrupted due to COVID-19.
