Based on what I have seen driving around Houston the yard guys, sub-contractors and laborers are killing it.TXTransplant said:
Exactly. But it's disproportionately hurting those kids who come from unstable, economically disadvantaged homes. The kids of most middle class and definitely upper middle class families will be fine.
Just like forcing places that use unskilled or minimally-skilled labor to remain closed hurts that class of people. Those of us (some, not all) doing our white-collar jobs from home this whole time are acting like it's NBD.
Eventually, when restrictions are lifted, the only people who are going to be able to afford the things that we all used to enjoy are the ones who insisted on keeping everything shut down. And I think they know that.

Theoretically the VP and President should set an example for everyone else. Kissing with a damned mask on is stupid. Sad times we live in.

But even that's just a deflection.
The theatrics of it over the last couple of months, with how vaccinated politicians are behaving? You're kidding yourself if you don't think at least some on the fence say why even bother. A trend back to normal would go a long way.htxag09 said:

Some Black parents said remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic gave their children a reprieve from racism.​ https://t.co/iCM6emjTsc

A great number of those middle class and upper-middle class kids will be psychologically impaired. They'll be socially stunted and fear-driven. They will have drilled into them this anti-liberty, anti-science (which it is despite what libs claim), and anti-social mentality which will definitely impact them later in life.
I can see it already when I take my boys to school and I see these middle school kids masked up at the bus stop outside or walking around the neighborhood in masks. An entire generation has been lied to by their parents, teachers, and government. And those kids who's parents haven't discussed the realities with their kids are in trouble.
1/ Three million. That's the estimate of how many children have dropped out of school as a result of the pandemic. To see in slow motion what it's like when a child falls behind, @tamirbenkalifa & I spent a week with 11-year-old Jordyn as he tried to learn https://t.co/bdQVo6SQBN

For anyone who has taken the vaccine, was their any review of your medical history by a doctor and discussion of potential side effects and risks based on your age and risk profile?
It sounds like traditional notions of 'informed consent' have gone out the window.
Do you just roll up your sleeve and they inject you with whatever they have on hand? Did you even meet with a doctor?

Like every vaccine it's your job to figure it out before you sign up. It's not on the pharmacy or government like so many other things.
