[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the Midwest.  I do feel sorry for DC area kids, they have had a terrible time.  My kids were back in school in-person August 2020, we started hanging out with friends, eating in restaurants, etc. May 2020.  Their lives have been pretty much normal for over a year (except wearing masks but they adapted fine to that).

The people arguing that that COVID decisions are a personal choice are right, sort of, but if your entire community has chosen to lock down, who would your kids hang out with even if you wanted to be more open?  When I tell my DC friends the pandemic basically ended for my area a year ago, they act like I have 2 heads.  Ang guess what, our numbers are on par to slightly better than DC area.[b]  What was it all for?  [/b]

In hindsight, I do feel bad for you![/quote]

It was tribalism and the fear mongering of MSM outlets. Too few people actually look at the data for themselves.

The other piece is that the pandemic has been very comfortable for many of the UMC who are loving the WFH lifestyle, lack of social commitments, and being able to contain a bubble with a few families they like. The masks are a small price to pay for them, but the masks are key. Without the masks we are back to l normal and all the pandemic lifestyle benefits disappear.
