If anyone presented the mass infection of kids with Covid in schools as an experimental design to a University research ethics committee it would be knocked back with horror.
Yet we’re happily conducting this experiment in the real world on a generation of kids. It’s just wild.

Hey, who is noticing that “post-pandemic normal” is a lot of “I’ve been knocked out by this cold for weeks” and “Sorry, we’ve had to cancel this event!” and “My kids are sick for the second time in two months!” and “Due to staffing shortages…” and “The ER wait was 10 hours!”

"England" is also difficult, since I don't only identify with that geography, but perhaps it helps that it's named after a Germanic tribe? 'Earth' is the simplest term - except that means 'Ground' and is the least imaginative term we could have used to name our planet? (2/2)
Ah, @ColourfulCosmos@twitter.com, you seem to be there too? Any idea what's happening? :)
