I worry the impact this will have long term. Both economically as a lot are taken out of the workforce or remain but with less function. And socially as we have this bigger pool of people we need to care for (and likely fail to care for). It’s remarkable it’s been ignored but turning it into a culture war for short term political gain seems to have made any serious discussion about it impossible now. Just look how immediately comments about masking in this discussion were grayed out.
