You must not be dealing with the aftermath in your family. Also, what about learning from our mistakes? Not so easy to move on when people like you are in DENIAL.

Being fat and metabolically unhealthy are still the most preventable conditions Americans die from - hundreds of thousands a year. Why not more attention on that?

you don’t get to decide that. it’s ballsy to be so nakedly self-serving though.

they will not move on because they want revenge for having to follow what they think were democrats' rules during COVID. In their mind, someone has to pay so COVID needs to be relitigated in the public square.

does “they” include the editors and reporters of the NYTimes?

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/opinion/pandemic-school-learning-loss.html

There is a lot of room for discussion about what happened during the pandemic. But the position that “we should just move on and not criticize or learn from anything” is not discussion …

Of course the response was stupid! Luckily the US is a federation so it was always possible to find places where people kept common sense and at least travel there if not move.
Just make sure you don’t trust the authorities blindly next time. I didn’t and I am happy I kept our lifestyle as normal as was possible under the circumstances (we were in CA, one of the most crazy states).
I wish I traveled even more than I did though.

I wish we traveled more too! We were one of the first to travel but I wish I did more. It was so nice and empty …

You could not be more wrong. Do you see MAGA in everything you don't agree with?

Ok time will tell let's see if i am proved wrong.

The problem is we weren’t allowed to ask questions and dissenting views were discouraged. Anytime you’re not allowed to ask questions or push back on something you should be concerned. The climate at the time didn’t allow questioning of precautions.

Because it was an EMERGENCY situation.
Having known several people who died or spent months in the hospital with Covid it was not something most of us wanted to just take our chances with.

Questions and dissent are most important during an emergency. No you don’t get to memory hole this.

What do you think should happen today? Are you advocating for anything in particular?

I think laws should be passed that require schools to remain open. Public health authories should be sent to school to understand risks and benefits. Strong protection of 1A rights in the pending Supreme Court case. Fixing the learning loss is going to be a long term project but the new understanding of the importance of phonics is a great step. We need to do the same for math.

Not going to happen. Please get some therapy. Truly.
