I wonder if lockdown was the final nail for it. I've been wondering if there were any variants of common illnesses we'll never see again because it required more human cross contact to sustain its population.
We should do a winter lockdown every decade, just to keep it clean.
But won't someone think of the shareholders!?!?
Or the kids? It was terrible for their education and social development. Hard to weigh the pros and cons there.
Yes, very difficult
Millions of preventable deaths, or a cohort of misbehaving children. 🤔
Very difficult choice.
It had a huge impact on my kids. You are not wrong. The teachers were unprepared and often left to their own devices. I will tell you that older teachers and technology don't mix. And it was like Christmas for all the kids who stayed in physical classrooms because now class was only 15 kids instead of 35. Sure, most of these kids are on their 4th round of covid, and my kids have still yet to get it, but it was two very important years that just went "POOF." I need both hands and feet to count the grandparents I am personally aware of that are now KIA due to stubbornness. The whole time was a shit show, and we learned nothing from it. My oldest had some pretty sever issues due to the depression of the whole thing. Better than getting covid and checking out, yeah no question, but still f'd
Don't be silly. We learned plenty.
We learned those in charge are willing to throw your life away for "the economy". This was doubly obvious is you were an essential worker. We also learned that "Yes people really will walk right up to a zombie and get bit against all advice everywhere".
Bites don't spread disease, it's the vaccine that does. We're having a biting party later at my house, be sure to brag about it on social.
Send him over to homelabs; they can probably help.
That's what happens when huge social change happens with absolutely no planning or preparation.
If we have 6 more years to prepare for another lockdown then I'm sure any of those issues can be more than accounted for.
Eh, kids' future's fucked anyway due to global warming and rampant enshittification, might as well sacrifice what's left of it for the greater good. 🤷♂️
