COVID a lot like Jan 6th where it wasn’t bad enough to put the fear of god into most people but bad enough that it wrecked the economy and asked a lot from people.
We're trying figure out how to help, but there's a lot of possibilities as to why kids are struggling beyond what was lost during the lockdown. Online learning is less effective for many reasons, and our society becoming more unstable isn't helping 🙃
Don't say that. The COVID dead-enders literally believe that COVID causes brain damage, and therefore anyone who's ever had COVID is a mental incompetent or even a zombie who should no longer get a vote
It was kind of a perfect storm. Everyone was locked in their homes with social media for months, and the halting, confused messaging from health authorities in the early days made a lot of people who had little experience on the internet feel the need to ‘do their own research’.
Everyone was complicit in the magical thinking for a few weeks: if ALL of humanity plays dead for a week the virus would go away. It was after a few weeks that some people realized a financial/personal/political reason to continue with the fantasy. (Lockdown will eliminate virus.)
I think this connects back to Americans never having experienced a pandemic before, but a lot of people just didn't understand that it would be very, very difficult to limit the spread of a highly infectious disease unless they participated, and even then, still very difficult.
It’s like the people who still had their noses uncovered six months in or would actually lift their mask off when they needed to cough. I would just stare in amazement that their shoes were tied and on the correct feet.
