I commented about this easily and obviously noticeable change based on anecdotal observations on HN late last year. Even simply observations of politicians getting away with not practicing their own guidelines and sending their own kids to private tutors while locking down everyone else should have woken up people. I got a lot of negative comments ranging from how I was advocating for putting kids and their elderly parents at risk and what not. It’s like everyone has completely forgotten about all the other side effects and have tunnel vision of covid only.
Last week, CDC came out showing how the obesity rates in youth has doubled during the pandemic. All these decisions will have long term consequences which people get silenced over.
- srl 5y ago> Last week, CDC came out showing how the obesity rates in youth has doubled during the pandemic. Do you have a link to the CDC saying that? I found [0], which claims the rate went from 19% to 22% --- far from doubling.

- busymom0 5y agoYep, this is the one I was referencing. Thanks.
- anthonypasq 5y agoi think the person meant to say that the rate of increase doubled
- masterof0 5y agoI also got down-voted for suggesting the same, a year or so ago, it turns out the people who suffers the most with a lock-down, are not hanging out here in HN, go figure.
- missinfo 5y agoWorrying about nothing but Covid is a luxury.
- busymom0 5y agoJust an observation - many people on HN work in the tech or similar industries which can be performed by working from home. They have a hard time relating to others who don’t have the same luxury.
- kongin 5y agoMy job is performed better from home because I'm not in a loud open office. For purely selfish reasons I hope endemic covid is bad enough that wfh becomes the norm.
