Their parents are vaccinated and boostered, though. A lot of people on DCUM seem to be unable to remember that.

If we continue to spread it like this there will be more mutations and this will never end. This is exactly why we are in this mess right now.

There will be more mutations no matter what "we" (whoever "we" is) do.

The degree and extent largely depend on our actions. If we continue to be cavalier about it, sure there will be more deadly mutations and vaccines won't be able to keep up. A lot of people seem more concerned about missing their pilates class than they are with the future of our species.

Okay, you've scolded one person. You only need to reach 7.899999 billion more. Given that the next variant of concern will emerge in some far flung geography and not in a local pilates class, maybe you should start there...

+1 most sane people have realized that restricting activities to "stop the spread" is a fool's errand. I'm just doing what I need to do to protect myself and my family, but I know people are going to restaurants, bars and parties no matter what I do. I sure AF am not going to support school closures while bars are open unless there literally is not enough staff to teach.

Yeah, and I've never done pilates in my life.

Honestly even if it wiped out everyone over 65 worldwide is it really a big deal? Free up housing and save SS and Medicare and huge tax windfall when inherited 401k and estates gets taxed all at once.

You're new to trolling, aren't you?

Accurate.

My brother and I aren't close. He's not exactly foaming at the mouth with conspiracy theories. I'm just finding his sudden pivot on going back to nature with his family a little oddly-timed.

Yes, you did.

Instead they just see their lack of manicures and how inconvenient it was having Larlo at home when they were doing their important brand marketing for a K-street firm job.

Is English not your first language? I said, "they just see... How inconvenient it was having Larlo at home...."

In this context, I am mocking these people. I am not agreeing with them that having Larlo home is inconvenient.

But I know how you play this pointless game. Have we played it before? Now you will accuse me of backtracking, insist that isn't what I was saying, and try and distract with more inanity to derail the thread. That's what you do.

NP. I'm no covid denier, but you seem exceptionally nasty. Also, your brother has other issues, clearly.

I am. And he does. Thanks!

Those things have nothing to with me being right or not... Which I also am.

I love the DMV: our kids are being exposed to a potentially crippling illness, most of us agree this is bad, are horrified that other people ignore it and spread more covid.... But, of course, the real issue here is whether or not I'm rude.

Being both exceptionally nasty and highly irrational does not make you persuasive. Also, I do not know what you think you are right about, but I suspect it doesn't conform with reality.

You don't understand basic science. All of DC could be jailed in their houses for a year and it would have literally no impact on the evolution of a global virus. You are ignorant.

What he says is still true, though. Callous? Absolutely. But true nonetheless.

You're being too kind. Far too kind.

+1 most sane people have realized that restricting activities to "stop the spread" is a fool's errand. I'm just doing what I need to do to protect myself and my family, but I know people are going to restaurants, bars and parties no matter what I do. I sure AF am not going to support school closures while bars are open unless there literally is not enough staff to teach.

That's what is happening, genius. There already AREN'T enough staff to teach. That is why there is talk of closures. This is why PG closed. It'd be nice if people listened for a change.

I mean clearly, some schools are still operating GENIUS, so clearly, they have staff to operate. Maybe not an ideal number, but they should keep operating for as long as possible because school closures are horrible for children.

FYI the mental health issues children are facing right now are not simply problematic because of the difficulties they place on teachers. You have no idea what it is to be a parent trying to help a child struggling emotionally right now. The children have suffered enough, and we need to put them first. That means no closing schools just because you're "scared".

You're not very good at this, are you?
