you know what really impacts early cognitive performance? having one's parents die from covid. So while social distancing, closings, and masks completely suck, they have been necessary in order to attempt to maintain public health, and without them, there would have been vastly more deaths.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoThat may be true for grandparents. We should do something about heart diseases or car accidents which are far more worrisome for parents.
- zzzeek 5y agowe did, we mandate seatbelts in cars, stringent safety guidelines for cars, trans fats in food were banned, and such. The actors who would otherwise be irresponsible, car drivers, car manufacturers, food providers, and in this case, people who spread disease by not being vaxxed or masked, are coerced into acting responsibly by government.
- watwut 5y agoParents of infants have high rates of heart diseases? I found following estimate about covid: > approximately 1 out of 500 children in the United States has experienced COVID-19-associated orphanhood or death of a grandparent caregiver Those are all caregivers , not just any grandparent.
- dude187 5y agoNone of that works. Covid is here to stay. You're just saying that these kids should hide their face and stay away from their friends for their whole life
- zzzeek 5y agodidnt actually say anything like that, and I also chose my words pretty carefully. might want to read more closely before responding.
