What Covid measure do you feel was the most harmful to society, and are we doomed to repeat it next time?

Due to the way the pandemic was mishandled- no one will listen next time. So- no.

Naw, the kids are fine. Stop being so dramatic.

Schools get disrupted all the time for wars, natural disasters etc.

Kids are resilient. Give them a little more credit.

Kids are not resilient. With all the "trauma" they are constantly experiencing and the life long effects, no, the kids aren't ok or resilient.

Do you mean "school was NOT a super spreader site"? Because it wasn't.

Sweetie, bless your heart. Schools are ABSOLUTELY super spreader sites. Don't your little fragile snowflakes who can't learn at home get the sniffles in the fall? What about lice? Or the norovirus? Cramming 25-30 people into tiny little rooms spreads disease, full stop. Doesn't matter if it's the flu or the rona or foot and mouth disease.

This is public health 101.

Do try to keep up. If you can't, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to excuse yourself from the rest of the conversation. Thanks.

Just stop it already.

We knew nothing in the begining we had a fool leading the country.

Let's talk fact Republicans died at a 50% higher rate then dems.

You wanted to listen to that raving lunitic and his non science good for you the rest of us live in reality and know the answer was not that simple at the time.

And now because of you and your stupidity Measels case are rising, Polio is back and more childhood diseases will return.

Sure Lockdowns were the only problem.

Move to Florida or Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Alabama, Arkansas, Misouri, Mississippi, South Carolina, Kentucky with all the other dumbasses. Get back to us when the next novel virus hits because it will.

No, not with the genocide being perpetrated against them. The ones who survive, assuming Israel isn't successful in its attempted genocide, will be traumatized. But that has nothing to do with the fact that they were deprived of circle time.

Sweetcheeks, we've been through the data, and you haven't. Quiet when the adults are speaking.

PP said that kids are fine during wars. Which is obviously fine.

Oh please. It was the best thing for the health of my children. My kids were able to excel at home with online learning. The reason was that they had involved parents. Trash parents who do not like to parent wanted the school to open.

What about parents who had to work? Your claim is horrible and wrong.

Florida's "data?"

Maybe read the literature.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8858687/

"For example, a large online study in the US reported that individuals were more likely to report COVID-19-like symptoms in areas where schools were open compared to areas with remote learning, an effect that was attenuated in communities using multiple mitigation measures.10 Similarly, school reopenings in regions of the US with limited measures in place to mitigate in-school transmission are associated with elevated case counts."

Or this: https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/70-covid-19-cases-transmitted-by-children


Now, do as your told and refrain from posting anymore. Thanks.

I agree with this; any attempt at lockdowns, school closures, etc. in the event of a future pandemic will be met with hostility and/or refusal. I think in that way, we will not repeat the past mistakes.

And if they hadn't closed the schools, lots of teachers and many kids probably would have died at the time, pre vaccine. I guess that would have been preferable?

One lost year of school might keep kids behind for a while, but it's not going to follow them for their whole lives any more than me graduating during a recession.

Know many impoverished kids suffered more, but I guess it wasn't worth improving the air flow in the schools or retrofitting with any sort of hepa / UV air disinfecting options.

To me, it doesn't sound like many lessons have been learned by schools and workplaces which do want to stay open during the next lethal pandemic.

It is actually going to follow them for their whole lives, leading to lost income and shorter lifespans, since we don't think investing in kids is worth it as a society.

Probably for impoverished kids, yes. The rest? No, especially if you are introverted or had a crap school in the first place, probably didn't hurt those kids at all.

Sadly the states still haven't invested in air spread virus control measures that work for schools.
