[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how 2020 has exposed parents.  :lol:

Its all hugs and rainbows and 'children fill a void' until you actually have to take care of and watch them 24/7, 7 days a week.

Now its 'I'm going to be hospitalized if you don't get them out of here'.

And you wonder why the child-free and single are enjoying the pandemic so much?[/quote]

No, it's until I have to take care of them and watch them 24/7, 7, while ALSO being their primary educator, while ALSO working 40-50 hours a week.

If the child free and single are enjoying a pandemic where 200k of their fellow citizens have died in the past 6 months, simply so they can gloat that they aren't struggling like everyone else is, that makes them (you?) sound pretty bad. [/quote]

Come back to me about 'sounds pretty bad' after parents stop demanding buildings that house over 800,000 individuals 8 hours a day in boxes and are a petri dish ready to explode the community infection rates be re-opened.

Also google - White House Rose Garden Superspreader Event. Because that's exactly what happens when you get a confluence of children and adults in a room - Covid+ rates go up like a nuclear bomb went off.

The D.C. infection rate increased by 66% because of that one day. https://dcist.com/story/20/10/06/dc-highest-coronavirus-cases-daily-count-data/[/quote]

So what's your take on bars, restaurants, malls, gyms, non essential stores and businesses being open for adults? [/quote]

All of those things, including public pools and public parks, don't have a group of 20-30 individuals gathered together in the equivalent of a 100-square foot box for 8 hours in a day.

It allows free flowing individuals and surges of family units to partake in short bursts of buying (usually in less than half hour intervals) and/or outside eating or severely restricted indoor eating.

If you told me you could open classrooms with one teacher and five students and each student would be 15 feet apart and classes would be restricted to just an hour a day. Sure.

But all day in tanks while breathing the same air with hundreds to thousands of students in one building? No.
