It makes me sad that people are led astray by misinformation
I do sometimes wish people we were all in it together to defeat the pandemic rather than ignore it and spout out lies that its all a conspiracy by governments to control us and that the disease is a fabrication to get us to listen and obey everything they say and lock us all up even deny that people have died which must clearly be insulting to the families who have lost loved ones. I saw poster saying that misinformation prolongs the pandemic and that still seems to leave me with little hope and no where near the end of the tunnel. I have also heard that they have had to cancel certain events and things for a second or third time (despite the fact many people have vaccinated which prevents many people from dying but not the transmission as much) such as this marathon they were going to run in Yorkshire next year. I don't want to forever live in a world with more cancellations, more restrictions and so on. I seem to have almost forgotten what it was like before when other viruses were all round us already like the common cold and the flu and our lives were not restricted wherever we went and I was never worrying before all of this, about it being in a restaurant with other people close beside me spreading germs when non of us then were wearing masks. I'm now always watching how close I am to people and don't want to be near anyone I don't know if they don't wear a mask.

Seriously thou I agree with you. Lots of people are getting most all their information & social interaction from social-media these days. The social media companies are mega huge corporations & we all know that the big corporations would never place profit above what is best for the public right

If a piece of alleged 'information' is first seen in Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, it is a safe bet that it is entirely bogus.

I have heard that a lot of small children aren't developing social skills properly because of lockdown and not being able to go to school or nursery. Also a lot of children weren't getting their education properly at home, not like they would during a full school day in the classroom.
Children are society's future, and if they're not properly educated (socially and intellectually) then we might be headed for a very strange future. Hopefully many children will adjust and regain their social confidence by the time they're teenagers, but social environments is actually vital for children under 6 because that's when their social skills are developing the fastest. School isn't just for learning your ABCs, it is also for learning social and emotional development, which is also an important part of a child's life.

... after they get over their withdrawal symptoms and stop throwing tantrums, of course.
