Outside yes.

Indoors, hell no.

DH and I are vaccinated and our children have had Covid, but we are still eating outdoors only for now.

I would eat outdoors or indoors.

Outside only for now. We have 3 so that’s probably best anyway.

Let them live a regular life already!!

Americans are terrible at risk assessment. In a recent survey, Americans thought that your chance of dying after contracting covid were 17%.

Your kids are more at risk from dying in a car accident on the way to the restaurant, then they are from catching COVID there and dying.

Just came back from dinner with our two kids. The restaurant seemed full of elderly people, who have presumably been vaccinated. It was nice to see the older folks out. Not sure why people our age are still staying away, though.

I picked up food from a restaurant two nights ago. 70% full. 100% seniors.

Op here. We ate outdoors once and got take out another. Did not feel comfortable with unmasked all around us indoors. I haven’t even eaten indoors yet. I don’t think I will be taking the kids. We can eat outside or get take out like we have been.

I will go out to eat with a friend. Maybe I will go out for a date with dh next time my vaccinated parents or ILs visit. We haven’t been out alone one a date since the pandemic started.

I’ve been eating indoors since May of 2020 when my area reopened. No Covid among myself/family/friends. Just do it.

Americans-- like all humans-- are terrible at understanding statistics, and large and small numbers.

A 1-2% chance of death is very high! Therefore many Americans, having correctly assessed the COVID is quite deadly, have (wrongly) assigned it a number much higher than is actually accurate-- because 1-2% "sounds low." It's not. If you had a 1-2% chance of dying every time you bought ice cream or took the subway, you would never do either of those things.

In any event, the risk involved with kids has never so much been them dying, but of them being disease vectors to the more vulnerable, somewhere down the chain. This may also not be an extremely high risk as compared to others-- but it's significant.

Most of those things are not statistically more dangerous to the community than my kid contracting COVID.

Speak for yourself. I am most concerned about protecting my own children.

X 1000. We’re back to life as normal and have been since June. These lunatics can hunker away forever for all I care.

No one is vaccinated yet since we’re all low risk. Still living life.

And yes Karen I knowIm killing Grandma. 😁

I would love to see who you are. My guess is you have lived all your life with a level of selfishness that would make most of us retch.

The fact that you have to dismiss people who are trying to make decisions to safeguard their family and their community in a world where the information we have to go on is ever-evolving as "lunatics" is telling. This how this kind of thing works, over time we learn more, we modify, we learn more again, we modify again. Most of the answers about how this works, how it spreads, how to treat it, how long the vaccination is effective for, how well the vaccine does against the variants...all of these things require time.

So if you've been acting this way since last June when we knew so little, you are just a selfish, foolish, jerk. Plain and simple old jerk. So please STFU as the rest of the grown ups try to recalibrate.

This are is chock full of lunatics. Can’t wait to GTFO. Enjoy your basement and uneducated kids.

Only losers with no facts to speak of are still trotting out that tired, banal "basement" thing. It's a pandemic, not a tornado.
