Imagine that the "covid economy" could've been the first step to long term survival of the species

There are theories about climate lockdowns to slow down pollution seeing how well it worked during Covid unintentionally. Personally I would froth for a periodic lockdown where everyone stayed home and chilled

Tbh, I really enjoyed the lockdowns. We have young children and I got to spend so much time with them. I got much closer to them than I ever could have without covid. Was stressful though my wife and I had to work in shifts, so that one of us could be with the children, so long days.

But now they are in school and I think lockdowns are not that great for young school-children. So, I am undecided. Maybe a lock down excluding schools up to year 8 or so.

School buses are a thing, and no one would disagree with that I'd think.

Oh, I live in Germany. My children walk or go by kick scooter. :) But yes, I hope so.
