The editorial cites several robust analyses and concludes that, while uncertainty remains, long COVID symptoms appear to occur after about 10 percent to 20 percent of pediatric infections.

To this day I still ponder just giving up precautions. But then I read stuff like this, studies showing kids after vaccinations. And then I just wonder "how the fuck do people let this happen to themselves and their kids?"

I definitely get a bit shinji-losing-it every time I remember about the all of the "Stop masking our children!" signs people put out when that was still a thing

Yeah fuck it I'm with Alexander Lazarevich at this point. Let's all just wear spacesuits. I'm sure the kids will think they're cool.

“Meanwhile, living conditions in Russia are not so different from living conditions on the Moon . . . Life in Russia differs from life in future colonies on the Moon only in that in Russia almost every year there is summer, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit . . .”

Climate change has taken away another beautiful vision of communist optimism.

I mean you could just change it to this:

Life in the subtropics differs from life in future colonies on Mercury only in that in Florida almost every year there is winter, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit

Like, there's definitely a use case for a "space" suit that dehumidifies and cools you. They already make silly outfits with integrated fans in them.
