If your loved one died, or you developed a long term complication, or you lost your job for taking too many sick days, then you should realize it isn't NBD. Or, also, if you have a brain in your head to realize that just because something was OK for you your experience isn't universal.

Exactly. We has a relative die last spring. My Covid has lasted weeks. It is a big deal.

It can be. Most often it’s not. Just how it is.

We can now see the importance of mental health at school as if this is your idea of compassion, no wonder these kids are struggling.

Covid can be serious. Usually it’s not. There you go.

It is serious when people are getting it over and over again every few months and it can rapidly be spread in schools. Keep denying. I feel for your kids.

DP. “Serious” is relative. Yes, covid is highly contagious, but health outcomes aren’t particularly different from other endemic viruses in non-elderly, vaccinated individuals. Similarly, covid doesn’t significantly change individuals’ overall risk profiles.

My relative who died was 50’s.

That’s an anecdote, not data. When looking at vaccinated/boosted individuals and adjusting for age, weekly covid mortality is on par with the flu during the winter. That's not to say some young, healthy people won't die, but that's the case with any disease. It's a big country-- outliers happen.

And, what if it is your child who dies? It will be ok with you?

Here we go again! Do you let your child ride in a car or swim in a pool? Part of life is managing risk. Both are more deadly for kids than Covid.

You miss the point that kids don’t live alone and there are safety precautions for both of those.

That wasn't the point. At all.

After (literally) the seventh or eighth condolences, flowers, cards, funeral arrangement, etc. and at least two were co-workers younger than I am, not to mention the brain / organ / tissue damage associated with mild covid; I find it insulting that you trivialize covid health effects.

Age, race, vax/booster status, weight, overall health, and geographic area/access to good healthcare play a significant role in covid death rates—particularly in 2022, per the data.

I personally knew several people who died from covid in 2020 and 2021. I don’t know any who died in 2022. All were north of 50.

I know a lot of 70+ seniors who navigated covid in 2022 without issue.

We make public policy for the average not the unusual case. Babies die of flu. Why do we keep treating covid differently in the post vaccine world?

I guess you have a really, really small circle of people you know (or tell you things)? Don't worry, we understand.

Be sure there is more than just death or hospitalization. But you are too narrow minded to get that. What if it is your child or grandchild who dies?

These posts are horrible! No wonder students horrifically behaved in the schools this past year. Look at who their role models were! I would have LOVED to keep my child in person this year, but there were so many fights, bullying issues, thefts, and threats of violence (kids threatening to shoot up schools, actual shootings, stabbings, ect). He felt UNSAFE in schools this year (don't you dare come at me with the SROs). This is beyond that. Your little bullying darlings disrupted education ALL year.

Do you see what you all are doing?? Your children are watching and listening to you.

Be a good neighbor; do unto others as you would have done unto you, right?

A little empathy goes a long way. Please for the love of all this - just stop. The only ones who will lose this war are our children. Your words, actions, ect have consequences. Teachers are leaving because of all the vitriol that has been lobbed at them and parents not taking responsiblity for their children. You all are unbelievable. Good riddance.

Which posts are you referring to? There's a nasty poster attacking others for not making Covid their self-identity, but that's about it.

Do you feel better now after accusing random parents you've never met of making their children bullies who threaten to shoot up schools? Maybe look in the mirror? Who are you saying good riddance to by the way? The teachers? What?

Oh, I agree! There is a crazy poster on here who wants to keep kids in masks for eternity and is mean and nasty to anyone who doesn’t behave the way she feels appropriate.

People like the other PP are anti-science and anti-data. They want to ignore the data and make public health policy based solely off of fear.

Nothing you have posted changes what I said- we have public policy based on average situations not the extremes.

So sad but the MAGA crowd is in denial. They still think this is the flu.

So does the liberal crowd. Fortunately, it's one issue where there's widespread bi-partisan support.

I was at a walk-in clinic i Western Maryland that required masks like all clinics and hospitals do. An older guy walks in and started complaining about the mask rule and that the only purpose was in his words "fear-mongering". I felt sorry for the desk staff but it was clear by their expressions that they have had to deal with it before. Idiots...

So sad but the MAGA crowd is in denial. They still think this is the flu.

If there’s a surge, you may not have a bus driver and your kid may be sitting in an auditorium being babysat with 100 others not really learning if enough staff are out sick. Unless the cdc gets rid of the 5 day isolation, mcps won’t change that procedure.

One difference is that staff no longer get Covid pay if they must quarantine. Expect more masked staff AND more staff showing up who are asymptomatic.
