[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My prediction is we will look back and the end result will be we have done far more damage to our kids than any benefit received from shutting down schools.  Our society has been way too short sighted in all of this. [/quote]

Agreed.  I take COVID very seriously and follow all precautions, but the choice not to prioritize kids and schooling is a societal failure at various levels.  Just saw Las Vegas finally reopened schools after realizing students were experiencing a mental health crisis leading to an increase in child suicide.  It’s heartbreaking.  American Academy of Pediatrics and Dr. Fauci advocate for safe reopenings, which is possible with safety measures and mitigation in place.[/quote]

yes, unfortunately the failures are so complex. The Trump administration's lack of a plan and support is simply criminal. This major failure has caused so many deep fissures throughout our society. Now we force teachers to deal with overworked parents, restaurant workers have to handle crazy anti-mask people, and healthcare workers have to heal everyone who didn't take it seriously.

Young families are just caught in an endless grind, and any attempt get out causes more friction. Any good news is twisted and manipulated into a political debate that is reduced to extreme views and no room for compromise.[/quote]
