Well tbh, I'm not entirely sure what impact COVID-19 has had on chickenpox globally. I mean, I know that COVID-19 has definitely had a huge impact on people's lives and the healthcare system in general, but I'm not sure if there's been a direct correlation with chickenpox.
That being said, I can make some assumptions based on what I do know about chickenpox and how it spreads. Since chickenpox is a highly infectious disease, I would imagine that people have been more careful to avoid getting sick in general. This could mean that there are fewer cases of chickenpox simply because people are practicing better hygiene and social distancing measures.
However, on the flip side, it's also possible that there are more cases of chickenpox due to the fact that people are staying home more and not being exposed to as many germs as they normally would. This could mean that those who are susceptible to chickenpox are actually getting sick more frequently because their immune systems aren't being challenged as much.
At the end of the day, it's really hard to say what impact COVID-19 has had on the global incidence of chickenpox without more concrete data. I'm sure that healthcare professionals and researchers are keeping a close eye on this kind of thing, but for now, it's all just speculation as far as I'm concerned.
