> People say "things are pretty much back to normal" but parents with kids in school know this is not true.
This illustrates pretty well the absolute massive difference in how people experience the pandemic. People with kids in school and people certain types of jobs is hit extremely hard. Some absolutely struggle with home schooling, being out of a job, feeling isolated and a myriad of other issues. For others, like myself, other than having to work from home some of the time, and getting regularly tested, the whole thing has made some aspects of life much much easier. The only downside, for both me and my wife, is that there's more work to be done than ever.
