[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of stuff just never restarted because of laziness. At my kids' ES alone, many field trips are not back yet, many of the assemblies/all-school gatherings are still not back, several grade-level musical performances are not back, field day and holiday celebrations are shadows of their former selves. None of this is due to fear of Covid. Its just shear laziness. Nobody can be bothered and its sad. Same is true with neighborhood potlucks, wine clubs, poker clubs, book clubs, etc. Many aren't happening any more and the ones that are have a fraction of their former attendance. Again, not fear of Covid, just laziness and people's preference to just sit at home in their sweat pants. I'm not sure we will ever fully recover from that. [/quote] Agreed. Businesses cut services and raised price. Every single daycare we've experienced in the greater DC area has not resumed their pre-COVID operating hours. Our current daycare was previously 730am to 6pm prior to COVID. Now? They are 8am to 530pm and will likely never go back to the pre-COVID hours. The labor shortage due to COVID deaths, Boomer retirements, and astronomical cost of real estate is very real. It's affecting all frontline employers. [/quote]
