What still frosts me to this day was articulated limply by Whoopi, trying to defend the terrible choices made to 'save lives' when she blubbered "folks died, we all knew somebody who died", as if that was reason enough to abandon these children.

Put another way: When, in the history of humanity, did it become acceptable to sacrifice a child, their mental health, their physical well-being, their safety to save the life of an adult?

It wasn't about saving kids. Dr Phil was correct, and we knew it then, that children were the least likely to become infected with Covid, yet they were so easily abandoned to emotional and physical disaster to keep their parents from catching a disease that had a 98% survival rate. Appalling.
