@NateSilver538 Yeah sure people can debate whatever they want. I think school closures pre vax were a close call, and a hard one. But there's an emotional substrate here I'm responding to, which is part of a broader kind of discursive mode that has been in ascendancy that I find familiar. — PolitiTweet.org

But even there I'd say that the *driver* of the disruption is less the policies and more the brute fact that there is just a *lot* of a very very transmissible infectious virus circulating in the population. — PolitiTweet.org

An importanat addendum is that probably the most disrupted area is childcare, particularly for kids under 5, where exposures and quarantine policies are basically rendering childcare impossible for very stretches that is *profoundly* upending parents' lives. — PolitiTweet.org

@DouthatNYT Yes but that’s combo of the prevalence of the illness itself *and* the policies. Some of the school quarantining policies are, imho quite excessive, but the real driver of disruption right now is just a *ton* of infectious disease circulating. — PolitiTweet.org

But I don't quite get this sense of victimization and onerous oppression from those who are "done with Covid." I took the subway and played pick-up basketball in NYC yesterday. You can...do what you want? — PolitiTweet.org

And I'll say I think that's roughly correct, policy-wise. Large scale NPI's - particularly closures - are not really on the table for good reason. Vaccinating and boosting 80+% of the population should be the priority along with... — PolitiTweet.org

I mean things are not back to normal because there's still a very active, highly transmissible, infectious disesase that's getting people sick and killing 2000 people a day. But from a policy perspective, the vast vast majority of stuff is open, including schools. — PolitiTweet.org

The Covid discourse is weird and nasty because I think it just absolutely sucks to go through two years of a pandemic. But one thing that feels weird now is that the winning side in the "get back to normal" debate seems very angry about losing the debate even though they won? — PolitiTweet.org
