I have been trying to understand. 60% of my team has kids in 2-4 year old range, and they are constantly sick. Like, much more so than in normal years? The added part to this is that their parents (the people on my team) are now also nearly constantly sick because they keep catching whatever their kids get. It's a giant mess.Everyone's health is garbage right now. Every other pediatrics call to the clinic: "My kid is sick all the time and it's not corona!" "that's because it's every illness all at once attacking your kid's immune system because we're all stressed out and dealing with corona!"
Constantly sick. Combine that with the fact that schools now require you to take three days off if you so much as confess to a cough, that school schedules now have to be written around a dire shortage of staff and teachers and an entire cohort that learned (for two years!) that the Minimum Viable Product for "school" is "watch your teacher on a screen somewhere yammer about stuff that you won't be tested on". It's a shitshow. We'll be feeling the effects for a generation.
