I have no doubt it did some damage. Kids missed out on a lot of social interaction and just being kids. Families that lived apart, often had to stay apart and couldn't be with each other even on holidays or special occasions. Many businesses shuttered and never bounced back.
On the positive side of it, I didn't do any business travel for 2 years. I worked remotely and got to hang out with my wife and kids. For the most part, it was a gift of time that I would not have been able to experience otherwise.
