[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I know pandemics suck. I hope this will be all you have to complain about. Then you will come out on the other side of it a lot better off than millions of people. Good luck to you!

Lots of people always have it worse. Before this, I hope you never complained about someone stealing your wallet or robbing your house, because that doesn't compare to the suffering of people who were dying of cancer at the time. Best of luck to you.

I don’t see how that’s related. Cancer and being robbed have no connection.

The pandemic and schools operating remotely do have a connection.[/quote]

It's an analogy, but if you want a connection I have an even better example.  As the result of fighting during the Vietnam war, my dad lost several fingers, rendering him unable to play his instrument, which was a huge part of his life before, ever again.   Should he never complain or be unhappy about that, just because others lost legs or died in that same war?  He's glad he's not dead and can walk for sure, but he's unhappy that he doesn't have his fingers.[/quote]

I’m sorry about your father and grateful for his service. I still think loss of life and limb is not comparable to what people are complaining about on these forums. Hardship is relative but losing a family member or being hospitalized for an extended period of time or not being able to safely care for aging parents just isn’t the same as being disappointed and frustrated that schools are starting remotely. It’s just about perspective. And focusing frustrations on the real culprit which is the uncontrolled pandemic. But I am happy to agree to disagree.
