Wut?
In countries that had lockdowns, children and young adults arguably suffered worse than any other group. For a ten year-old, that's 10% of their life "gone". Children, teens and young adults have foregone life milestones, missed opportunities and friendships. Instead they have been charged with a ridiculous anxiety about something that is harmless to them.
It is comparatively inconsequential for the elderly to isolate.

Opening everything up now, without a adequate vaccination rate, would just put them at a huge health risk. Right after the social impact they already had. And the social impact, IMHO, affected everyone.

- hef19898 5y agoDelta is already worse among younger people. That means younger people, not just children, will be infected and affected more. Having unvaccinated children at school also makes future school closures more likely. We have to reach a point where Covid becomes endemic and we, people, society, are good to love with it. We will reach this point quicker the faster we vaccinate everyone. I guess we can agree school closures are not so good thing, right?
