I'd say we / they don't know what we are doing. From the get-go I felt and said we should treat this virus like Sweden did... you make great points in this essay... especially pointed at masking children. At some point we have to live with the virus... Most days I don't even think about it. Instead I've worked on my health. Doing my part for children means letting them come over to my house to play games and laugh. If kids don't see faces and live in fear it bodes very bad for our future. This is my favorite point you made: if you stifle the senses, that would tend to breed fatigued indifference. "We are designed to respond at an instinctual level to an entire sensory experience. If we are deprived that experience for too long, our senses and emotions will dull and ignore."
Nope, Matt. We do not know what we are doing. Well, almost all of us don't know what we're doing because we've conceptualized humans as individuals, instead of the collective network we actually are. http://empathy.guru/what-is-empathy

I wonder how this setup--remote work meetings--is for you now, 11 months later. Also, this story from Twitter is relevant: https://twitter.com/MmeBlackBalloon/status/1558492722519891968
