Is it really ridiculous to consider the impact that massive societal changes we made might negatively impact our young? Zoom school, or even being in school masked and socially distant seems objectively worse for young children than being in-person and able to watch facial expressions and read lips. Why is it hyperventilation to consider the aggregate impact this will have on the generation of children that effectively lost 1-2 years of in-person social development time?
- junon 4y agoCOVID did that, not vaccines.
- jobs_throwaway 4y agoCOVID made the decision to stop in-person schooling?
- ttpphd 4y agoIt was either that or watch millions and millions of people die needlessly
- spookthesunset 4y agoYou can’t prove that what we did to children saved millions and millions of lives. Frame your argument in terms of quality adjusted life years and the whole thing falls apart. The median age of somebody dying of Covid was higher than the average human lifespan. What kind of sick demented society steals two or more years of little kids childhood for that?
- ttpphd 4y agoOh can you prove that keeping schools open would NOT have resulted in even more mass death than we have already experienced? What about the millions of children who lost parents?
