[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree that 2 weeks in we knew. At that point the hospitals near me were still at the breaking point. But I’m in a town that didn’t get the kids back to school full time for more than a year and I will never forgive the teachers union for that. The head of the state teachers union now wants to be the democratic candidate for governor, which honestly enrages me.[/quote]

Teachers were high risk for getting Covid and spreading Covid. You are angry that thousands more teachers did not volunteer to die or kill their family members for your convenience? [/quote]

Exactly.  All of these enraged moms with COVID PTSD are annoying as F.

Hope you are enjoying the demise of democracy because your kids missed some school.  It was a worldwide pandemic with a novel virus.  Mistakes were made.  You wouldn't have been any better.  Now you've tanked our country because you were angry that stuff happens that no one can control.

Honestly you people still talking about the pandemic as though you learned something make me want to puke.  People like you will be the reason many will die if we are unlucky enough to have another one, because you'll fight all public health initiatives because you "know better".  You guys suck.[/quote]

Washington, DC still has a 50 percent office vacancy rate and its workers haven’t gotten a COLA in 5 years because of the overreactions to Covid. Hundreds of people were murdered because of the uptick in crime after Covid as well.

There were people, myself included, that said that the overreaction to Covid in terms of overly long office, retail, and school closures would wreck American cities’ economies so much that a lot of them might never come back and that this would cause social ills (poverty, crime) that would eclipse the deaths caused by Covid. We were right and you can see that in DC today.

People who were demonstrably wrong think they have some sort of rationale for not profusely apologizing and never offering their opinions about anything again. They don’t. Be quiet. [/quote]

1.2 M Americans died of Covid during the official pandemic, and that's surely an undercount. My dad died last year - he had Alzheimers and Covid and never came out of the hospital when he went for delirium. His death was listed as "respiratory infection." What killed him?

Nobody owes you an apology. [/quote]

Not of, but with. A common deception by the lockdown zealots. Most of the people that actually died of COVID were in nursing homes. Which made shutting down schools even more insane.[/quote]

Some of us live in multigenerational homes. My school did go in person in August 2020. I was terrified I would bring back covid to my mother who suffered from dementia. We all masked up, even at home, to protect her. I would get so angry when I heard of kids having sleepovers, and parents having parties while we were bending over backwards to keep our school community safe. Sure, maybe some protocols were pointless, but at that time, we weren’t sure, and it was better to be safe than sorry.

Some families at our school did loose family members, others got bad cases of covid. We had to re-invent our lesson plans because we often were teaching hybrid lessons. Teachers were burnt out!

Many forget about the low income service workers who kept showing up. They usually lived in cramped apartments. So many of them got sick and died. Often their customers would refuse to wear a mask, sometimes just to make a point. The lack of empathy was grotesque.

I ended up cutting ties with many people, after I realized  they were unable to put up with being uncomfortable for a bit for the benefit of the community. They showed their true colors. [/quote]
