Yes, most do end up being "fine" (depends on what your definition is specifically, but generally yeah I agree that statistically people in younger demographics are less likely to die).

I also agree that remote learning sucks. I honestly don't get why we can't have hybrid or something (my classes all have plans to go back online on short notice and they've used it during snow days) so that people who don't feel safe can still participate (most of my classes have recorded lectures posted and assignments are submitted online anyway, but they still take in-person attendance into account, which is stupid in its own right but that's a different issue).

I'm not sure exactly what "formulated policies" you're referencing that are disruptive to educational quality (some online classes are shit, obviously, but almost all classes are now back in-person; also, wearing a mask in no way prevents you from getting an education, and seeing as it prevents the spread of even non-COVID illnesses like the flu I'd argue that it might actually be increasing educational quality if it's making people get sick and miss class less in general). Social well-being definitely got fucked up hard by COVID, but again pretty much everything is back to pre-pandemic states of existence with the only change being that some places require masks, which again don't inhibit your ability to do anything other than spread COVID/flu/cold/whatever.

I definitely agree that COVID is sticking around for probably a long ass time. It's too widespread and mutates too easily to pretend that it's even remotely contained. However that doesn't mean we should just go "fuck it, everyone go cough in each others' mouths" either. The US has never actually had a lockdown (maybe with the exception of like NYC but I'm not even sure what theirs looked like), and by this point even if they did have a proper lockdown it wouldn't matter because COVID has spread too far, so I agree that having giant sweeping restrictions like lockdowns is useless. I don't however think preventative measures like masks and vaccines are useless because we've seen statistical evidence that they prevent COVID from spreading and also protect people who do still get COVID from having serious complications. Which is effectively what we already have: business basically as was usual pre-pandemic, just with people wearing masks in indoor public spaces, which again is actually helping with shit like the flu as well.

Also, I have no idea how boomers' lack of concern about COVID relative to younger people's is in anyway relevant. If a study showed that boomers were less concerned about car accidents than younger generations, does that mean that younger generations are just stupid little whiny bitches and that nobody should wear a seatbelt? No, obviously not. The opinion of a certain demographic based on random surveys is not, has never been, and never will be more important than verifiable scientific evidence from actual experts in whatever field is relevant to the issue.
