It sounds like you're putting a lot of thought into it. Kudos to you.
It must be hard to even visualise group activities with other kids. Heard on a pod discussion recently about all the summer camps run by unions and left orgs in the 60s-80s. The contrast between that wide socialization and education of previous generations and today's youth is stark.
Thankfully my kids have each other but the other kids around here are not careful. I live in a pretty lib area but there are still plenty of kids around who don’t wear masks. We’re also unable to go to any crowded public places of course. Last year we tried going to the beach one or two times. It wasn’t that crowded but unmasked people kept getting way too close to us.
The question is: am I crazy, or are they crazy? Should we trust the government and the corporate media which is now insisting that everything is fine? Or is the worst still to come?
In our conversation the nurse said something about going back to normal soon and it kind of disgusted me. All of this shit is because of normal. Nearly 600,000 dead Americans (to say nothing of all the dead around the world) is because of normal.
I just cannot imagine trying to explain the contradictions surrounding covid to kids when they can see large groups ignoring it. It's brilliant that yours are getting the kind of education that'll allow them to understand the situation better.
Thanks, no, I think they get it. I actually think it must be harder to avoid explaining it at all, to pretend it doesn’t exist, or to say it’s all Trump or China’s fault. I don’t know. Kids can get used to anything. But some of the ones who are trapped with lib or fash parents/“communities” must be asking questions at least privately.
