Fwiw, Walmart and Kroger haven't done much besides add some sanitation and recommend masks. The companies I work for have done things like adding UV filtration in the air ducts and do 100% temperature checks, and the ones that have done that have not had a single positive case. Schools could do the same thing (the UV filters) and it doesn't even cost much, and they have had months to prepare, but they don't have the engineering or expertise to even know where to begin.
Ohio sure has changed if someone can grow up there and at least not once heard about 4H

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-H
The goal of 4-H is to develop citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential learning programs and a positive youth development approach. Though typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization as a result of its history, 4-H today focuses on citizenship, healthy living, science, engineering, and technology programs.
My man, we're all seeing a huge difference this year compared to literally any other year of our lives. It sucks. I don't need to have kids to understand that. But the post came off as some "locked the doors, didn't go outside at all" kind of thing, and that's just not the reality I saw. It was different than "normal". But it wasn't prison.

Everyone has been cooped up more than ever. This is a once in hundred year event we're dealing with. It sucks.
Virtual learning sucks. It's better than no learning. Let's just be glad that we're living through this with the ability to virtually learn, instead of it being 1955 and we didn't have that ability.

I get all that. Just saying that anyone who thinks that kids are not being harmed by the lack of socialization is nuts. In fact, if you are in high school, learning isn't even the reason many of them want to go to school. They want to meet people, build relationships, and some just want to get away from abusive households. Luckily many schools realize this and are doing what they can to get kids going again in person. Not everything can be done remotely.
