NP. Bunch of kids practicing baseball at Southside Park today, late afternoon. Couple of men coaching, a woman conversing a few feet from one man about what sounded like her role doing something for the team. Zero masks on anyone except one of the men. Why are kids' ball teams allowed to be operating right now? Maybe these idiot parents are convinced "kids don't get the virus/don't spread it if they do get it/you can't catch the virus outdoors" and all that debunked mythology.

These things are why the pandemic will go on and on.

These kids were told by the media that the thousands of people protesting outdoors did not lead to any spike in cases, because they were outdoors. Agree or disagree but you saw that reported too. I saw a huge increase in kids AND adults gathering outside after that. It happened everywhere.

This is a fair point.

Huh? The protesters were all masked. Outdoors + masks did not lead to a spike, true.

No, the weather got warm and people got tired of being careful. We had a window to tackle this thing and squandered it, and now people have given up.

I live in Vienna and saw the protests. Many were masked but not close to all. I was saying this was one contributing factor along with the others people have posted. Phase 3, distancing fatigue, sports resuming, etc. It is hard to understand how they are out and about unless you are parenting a teen. You only have so much control at this age. Mine says he is keeping a distance from friends and not eating inside when they are in town. I don’t know if it is true and it is not realistic for me to tell him he has to stay inside 24/7 like he is in elementary school. At some point you have to trust them until they give you reason not to.

None of those kids are getting sick though.

I am very concerned about the observed lack of social distancing. Outside is safer than inside, but not safe. And we do not know what is going on in peoples houses. I have seen facebook photos of kids and the friends at home.

With that said, the data right now shows that teens and tweens have the lowest growth rate of any age group in Northern VA, with a slightly negative Rt. My guess is there is a teen/tween bubble. They isolate themselves. As long as the virus in to in the age group, they will remain ok. But, that could change quickly.

I am very concerned.

But, with that said, it is a small minority of kids that are doing this. My DD and her friends are all social isolating. And the number of young people I see is a small fraction of the community. But, there are some adult roll models, largely sports coaches (including highly regarded school coaches) that are encouraging kids to play there sports. And there is not social distancing -- there could be....close the bleachers to spectators and use those to spread out.

Oh, and I do not believe this is isolated to Vienna. I see the same thing in Fairfax and in Arlington.

I am seeing the opposite. My kid's friends have not being socially distancing from the March, was hanging out all together at everyone's houses and outdoors, went together to beach houses, playing sports together, having sleepovers. We have a lot of MD parents in this group and a lot of scientists parents and we are all OK with this. None of the kids or parents became ill with Covid so far. I am sorry if you succumb to all this "social distancing" thing and have to put your and your child's life on hold.

YET. in the last 10 days, Fairfax County cases have been growing at 10% per day. Vienna seems to be increasing. I am sad that you are ruining our community by putting short term desires ahead of long term safety. I bet you were one of the people out watching the baseball games last week.

I perfectly understand how viruses work and I understand how human immune system respond to it. So far, everything goes like it should be -- kids are getting exposed to the virus and building their immune system in response.

They will grow more since we are doing more testing. The numbers will spike since all returning to college kids are required to take a test, so we will see more and more positive cases. And this is a normal course for the virus. You should check the number of how many of the people who tested positive were actually hospitalized or died.

Except, if you look at the numbers by age, th increase was in people working age, not in college age people. So, your MAGA narrative goes poof.

The neighbor who is diabetic should isolate him/herself. It is no one's fault that the neighbor was not taking care of their health for years .

College kids just received an email and tests kits this week, so those tests have not been processed yet.

No one canceled the Darwin law... your neighbor who is diabetic will die, the healthy human species will survive and continue to contribute to earth's population.

Is this the new narrative, 300,000 die and that's A-OK?
