I also think there's a strong potential for psychological harm in refusing to allow children to have physical contact with each other for a prolonged period of time, but that's (sort of) another debate. |

It seems to have just been assumed that we can't have x without forsaking y when there is little evidence to say that's the case or little thought given to alternative solutions. Its a false dichotomy |

Some 97,000 American children tested positive with Covid-19 in the last two weeks of July, according to a new study and The New York Times.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association, who conducted the research, said at least 338,000 children have tested positive since the pandemic began. It means that more than a quarter tested positive in the last two weeks of July, alone. That comes after Donald Trump claimed last week that "Children are almost, and I would almost say definitely, but almost immune from this disease". Those comments - which he posted on Facebook and Twitter - were later labelled as "Covid misinformation". |

Also, let's say you are correct, and a huge proportion of our economy and general way of life and being hinges on bars and pubs. To me, that's a fairly damning & depressing reflection on our society and "traditions" and maybe you're right that we need to keep that afloat as a "necessary evil". For me personally, it's not something to be proud of or to uphold as something that we should maintain at all costs. Pubs being the dominant source of all adult leisure activity in the UK is not unexpected but it is extremely bleak. I am aware that you disagree, but... really. Leisure expenditure is of excess income and if people aren't spending it at the pub they will be spending it in other areas of the economy. It doesn't evaporate.

....gosh TS...I really hadn’t got you as a snob but that’s how it’s appearing...all for academics/education and down with those pub dwellers, they’re a bit low in the pecking order of humans...I’m going to leave this because these conversations rarely get anywhere other than where it seems headed...(...some and many pubs...)...are a huge part of a community...both economically and socially...I need to get out into the sun, I think...

If so then yes I am a snob. With all other factors out of the equation I have no problem with people enjoying pubs or any other leisure activity they happen to enjoy; I do think it lacks imagination if people can't think of an alternative. But if we're talking "pecking order" and choices/prioritisation then yes, education comes above (far, far above) ANY optional adult leisure activity of any kind and I'm flabberghasted that anyone would imagine there's a decent argument to the contrary. I've yet to see one offered up other than "that's offensive" and "but I like the pub". That it's a heavily populated employment industry IS a half-decent argument but really does not play into this "pecking order" argument. Schools are above pubs in the pecking order. Yes. 100%. ffs.
