The key feature of 2020 has been a complete and utter loss of perspective.
People who have lived near wolves for a century are suddenly cowering in the house because there’s chihuahua puppy in the yard.
Covid never posed any meaningful threat to students or colleges.
US college campus deaths related to alcohol: 1,800 annually
US college student deaths from COVID-19: Less than 10 (zero in the 2020/2021 school year)
The fact is, there are over 3 million alcohol related deaths globally every year. Many of these occur in the young and healthy, tragically.
Most still acknowledge alcohol prohibition to be a bad idea.
Yet closing schools, colleges, restaurants and businesses for COVID-19 with FAR FEWER deaths is a good idea?
Cancer, heart disease, road collisions, alcohol, drugs, flu, pneumonia. The list is longer than your arm, yet no ‘shelter in place’ for any of that. You couldn’t make this mask shit up if you tried.
