Editorial. The coronavirus has had a profound effect on the world in a multitude of ways. By the time this appears (written in mid‐April 2020), we probably will have some better sense of its ultimate impact. This essay centres on only one meaning of its effects: How it has impacted family life. The editorial discussed both direct and indirect impacts on family life. The editorial suggests that reactions to COVID‐19 present a once in a lifetime international social experiment about family life, perhaps the most widespread social experiment of all time.
