Many people seem to be glossing over what this thing is doing to the kids.
Our school district is very worried about what is happening to the bottom third of the kids who basically disappeared. Some of the teachers made in home visits on their own time in preparation for whatever this year may bring, and it's not good. The local calls to domestic issues and the amount of depression that is setting in is going to have some serious consequences for a long time. Some areas are even trying to recruit extra child development and mental health workers to handle the amount of depression related issues.
It's really interesting how the older population is basically split down a tight line on this. The "I'm going to die if abc doesn't happen" versus "I've lived my life, the kids need xyz" divide is some good people watching.
