Scorpion breeds are supposed to become less and less of an issue each time a new one pops up. In a few years, ok maybe decades, their sting will only cause most people a week of pain and debilitation, but since it will happen to everybody, it's just nbd. It will still kill people, especially elderly people, but it will be just like a bunch of other stuff that kills the vulnerable but mostly just makes for a minor inconvenience for the well-off, so we can and should just let it become part of the rest of the background noise of death and malady we've all already been used to. So jfc stop worrying about it and get back to school or work already. You complainer. You pansy. You weakling.

But it’s not just the parents who are suffering. If we go back to remote learning, it’s the kids who will really feel it. Every day they’re not in school, they’re not learning crucial answers that will be on the tests that determine their school district’s funding. They’re not learning a laughably distorted, exclusively white perspective on American history, leaving them unprepared to become future cable news pundits and op-ed writers. And most importantly, they’re not socializing with other children, so it’s likely they won’t even know the name of the school shooter that kills them. These are all vital parts of growing up in America, and I’d hate for this generation to miss out on these foundational horrors.
