agreed, yet in my district, one school is allowing students the option to remote learn for fear of Covid, yet allowed to take part in football or part of the school VPA program. Parents don't want their kids exposed in classroom but okay with the other exposure.
Broadway is a ghost town now. Bars have been shut down and any restaurant that serves alcohol must be closed by 10. With a town that depends on tourism as much as we do it’s really killing us. We went to a phase 3 opening probably while you were here and then dropped back down to phase 2 in July. Like I mentioned we were slow to get on board but now it’s almost strange to see anyone in public without a mask.
I don’t know what you’re seeing but Broadway is dead. We are in a no live music phase and if you don’t serve food and our bar only you cannot open. Restaurants that serve alcohol must close by 10.
All those things you mention is why it is called a worldwide pandemic. No one was alive the last time something like this happened, so it’s new for each and every living person. No one is immune. Pandemics reek havoc.
Unfortunately cases are still high but look to have peaked and trending slowly down.
Who specifically have you seen do this? I'm genuinely curious because as a mental health professional I'm obviously concerned and it seems the vast majority of people I talk with are concerned as well. There has been a lot of discussion locally about the effect on mental health.
There's a guy who should come up with a couple of good pandemic-inspired songs.
Call me sick but one good thing that will come out of all this is when we start to see our best artists expressing the experience. It will take years and the songs or other types of works mostly won't be explicitly about the pandemic, but we'll recognize pieces of ideas and feelings many of us are having in common right now.
Every action taken damages young adult's mental health. Literally, everything being done to basically protect old people is doing serious damage to the young. It's mostly liberals screaming for more lock downs, etc... The same that say they care about mental health.
Okay, this definitely sounds like it's in the political realm and involves group stereotypes so I'm going to refrain from discussing any further. I obviously think being concerned about the mental health impact is very important, and there are nuances that require much consideration.
There aren't nuances at all. The numbers all back up that the young and even middle aged are being severely damaged by the fear mongering and lock downs.
You are correct. Every negative action can damage a young adult. This can also be a learning experience.
