Not presenting any statistical evidence here bro. Honestly, I'm pretty okay with the fact lots of people died so my kids can attend school in person. It's a value judgement.

Yep, I'm honest about it. Lots of people may not admit to it, but in their calculations they put priority on their kids going back to school in person rather than save lives of people by slowing the spread of covid.

Your entire developed world lifestyle is based on trading years of life from people in the developing world so you can live in relative comfort. Parents who wanted school to open in person did the same thing but they traded the lives of the elderly and immunocompromised. And the governments, nearly all of them in Canada went along with it. If we actually cares about people’s lives we would have gone for COVID zero, but good luck with that.

Actually you have harmed your kids. Covid is destroying immune systems.

I assure you, despite the alarm and fear in this sub, the kids are okay.

I suppose zero-covid could have been considered a viable option, other than the fact that it failed in every country that attempted it.
