[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have no clue why all the playgrounds got fenced off and closed. WHY?!

We tried very hard to keep things normal for our small kids, but as parents we paid a heavy price. I changed a lot as a parent and also as a person. I had a great life beforehand filled with friends and relatives. It made me realize that you can't rely on anyone. Grandparents just huddled in their houses by themselves while kids had mental breakdown and parents nearly lost their jobs. [/quote]

Yes I was changed as a person too. Became pretty jaded. My kid, surprisingly, did better - but I would never dream of denying that some kids were deeply affected. 
As for the playgrounds - those in power had to “do something” and it was the easiest thing to do.

People were dying and your biggest worry was playgrounds.  You can get a $100-200 swing set for your backyard.  No backyard, go to a friends house.[/quote]

Kids couldn't go to the playground, but hordes of people could gather en masse for BLM protests.  With the explicit permission of public health officials.

See why some of us are jaded?[/quote]

You could also go to a bar with the stipulation that the bar couldn't have stools at the bar top. But you could still stand at the bar top. I.e., the various rules were just a mix of stupid and form over substance. Various leaders just put in exceptions that worked for them and made rules for everybody else.[/quote]

and meanwhile they were making 2 year olds wear masks!![/quote]
