@DavidDmshepherd Not going to make me popular saying this on Mastodon, but it's the (necessary) lockdowns, not the Covid itself. Not sure that everyone on places like this quite sees it that way though. I got my head bitten off for saying people are going to have to go back to normal eventually.

@phd2 Yes, you’re right, it was the lockdown experience at university and at home that was so devastating for the 18-21s I know. If we went to university ourselves we can imagine why. All the formative things we enjoyed and took for granted stopped.
