Daughter’s Covid bubble has just popped. That’s it for this school year. No sports day, no celebrations, no proper goodbyes. Kids all weeping. I know it’s small, in the grand scheme, but for them it’s huge and I just feel dreadful for them all.

But why inflict this on kids? Is torturing them worth it? Most face very little risk from Covid. It seems we are just harming kids needlessly to make adults feel better now.
The mental health toll of this is just incalculable. We fail in every direction we possibly can.
