One of the worst things that happened the last two years is this myopic focus on exactly one thing with zero regard to other competing problems. Everything has costs. Keeping kids out of school for a year plus has costs. I am fairly certain history will show that the costs to children vastly outweigh the marginal benefits gained from closing schools to "reduce the spread".
It turns out there are other problems in the world than just a myopic fixation to covid... the inability for "the experts" to balance covid against the rest of human existence is one of the greatest fuckups of our time.
