The easiest way to determine whether a Covid restriction will be put in place is to ask two questions:
- Does the restriction mostly impact young people?
- Is it old people making the decision?
Schools are going remote again, but in-person bars are fully open. In many places, students are required to be vaccinated, but their teachers are not. This is how these kinds of intergenerational issues usually play out, but it’s especially disheartening in this case given that Covid is many orders of magnitude less severe for young people and poses virtually no risk to young people who are vaccinated.
