[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll admit it - I was a jerk for thinking this was going to be some bonding stay-cation.  And I was absolutely tone deaf about the suffering it has caused so many people I know who lost family from this virus.

I apologize for being stupid and glib.  [/quote]

I think early on, when it was thought that the shutdowns would be for 2 weeks or a month or even 6 weeks, that we felt differently. We could easily get through mid-March to early to mid-May. Now we’re facing, essentially, a second summer on top of a first summer, with no: camps, playgrounds, indoor playgrounds/trampoline park, library, or museums, and no or severely limited: pools, restaurants, and vacations. It’s easy to be laid back and enjoy time with your family and little to no outside amusements for 2-6 weeks. A lot harder to do it for 4-6 months. [/quote]

Yes, but this is what many of us thought was going to happen, but if we said anything about it being longer than two weeks we were laughed at.  When you go back and read the posts that were anti-OP and the people who railed against them, you can actually just see that people had different viewpoints about what was happening, and that some people experienced certain things like deaths or job losses sooner than others and therefore had a different approach.  That's why people thought OP was tone deaf, because her post had only to do with herself and failed to see what was actually going on.[/quote]
