This us crazy effing scary! I can’t believe people are so nonchalant about their KIDS getting Covid and having long term physical and cognitive effects. And sooo many kids have had it it’s scary- I suspect we will see a distinct difference in test scores in a few years between those that had Covid and those that didn’t. |
Ok you had me until you started in on sociopathic children. This is the parents fault, full stop. Don’t blame the kids who don’t know better. But yes we keep our kids home this week. Thee was an event at our school on Friday and I heard it was crowded and only like 50% masked. Superspreader event for sure. |
My daughter had it once, I have it now, my first time. My husband and son have never had it. Where are you getting your information from? |
Also worth pointing out that while Fortune isn't Business Insider or Bloomberg... business insider and Bloomberg (and others) are running similar stories. This isn't a fringe theory. I mean, I pray it's NOT true, but looking at the data we have so far, things don't look great. I think people are nonchalant because they can't deal with what they've done. |
Sorry, you're right. The kids aren't sociopaths. They're just taking the advice of sociopaths. I remember when I begged the school board to not put our kids in the position where they'd have to make choices about hurting other people, choices they'd have to live with for the rest of their lives. Well, that school board lady is either the real sociopath, or she has eaten a lot of lead paint chips. |
You're a doctor who doesn't know you can do more than one thing to mitigate the risk of catching a contagious virus? Wow. Yeah. I'm no doctor, but I'd say you have a brain bleed. |
Unfortunately, statistically it’s very likely she grew up in a house with lead problems. But yes all the adults are done with the masks and telling kids it’s ok- parents, teachers, principals. No role models left doing the right thing. |
It's maddening. I just hope my kid is really listening to us and not these loons. She says she wears masks, she says everyone does, I'm suspicious sometimes. We need the mandate back people are morons who are incapable of caring for others. This entire thing has left me so disgusted. |
Don’t forget to mention that central office has very high Covid numbers. |
Are they working in person spreading around the office or still working at home and getting Covid at after hour gatherings? |
Probably a mix. |
Doesn't really matter where they contract it. The point is that if it's brought into an unmasked area (school cafeteria, indoor office meeting, etc.) it's an issue. Only time will tell what effect repeated exposures will have in the long run, but yes, I do suspect test score studies should be done on infected and non-infected children covid populations by age group. I strongly suspect there is a direct correlation. "Even mild Covid is linked to brain damage, scans show" https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/long-covid-even-mild-covid-linked-damage-brain-months-infection-rcna18959 |
I mean, it’s a problem when Covid is brought to a masked area when the group is together for hours. Mask efficiency decreases over time across all materials (but a good well fitted mask holds up the longest). It’s why we should be in a half day hybrid system- no lunch breaks but also a shorter time in general. |
So what’s your long term plan then- keep your kids masked or in VA indefinitely until there is a proven treatment to prevent long Covid? That could be years, if ever. Because if that article is true- that a single case of mild Covid can lead to long term damage, you can’t even risk getting Covid once. |
DP. My kids are doing just fine in VA and are healthy. I’m sorry if you can’t devote time to supporting your kids education and depend on public schools for childcare. |
