Would you eat out with unvaccinated kids

[Anonymous]

No my child is a teen (but under 16), and isn’t comfortable eating inside. We just talked about this tonight.

Outside only!

I'm sure my kids would be fine if they got covid, but they are going to school/pod with other children whose parents may not have been vaccinated. We need to do our part to keep everyone safe.

Let them live a regular life already!!

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

Kids are very inefficient vectors of covid and we’ve known cue some time that asymptomatic spread is minimal.

So - your pathological need to deny science and act like anyone could be an infectious vector at any time when we know that’s just not how it works 98% of the time, is your own issue.

Me and my kids have eaten indoors at restaurants since June. They hung out with their friends maskless. So did I. I went on vacation with girlfriends in October. Surprise - none of us got covid. Anecdotally, the only ppl I know who did lived in a car home or in large multi family housing with lots of people working essential jobs. Anytime any of us had any whiff of illness or direct contact that might be sick, we stayed home.

Conversely, my kids aren’t suffering from the massive mental illness crisis that the kids of my friends are, who locked them up like they were diseased vectors for the last year. I’m sure it burns to know that you didn’t have to be all crazy like this all year, but doubling down on more crazy won’t change anything.

Are you vaccinated yet? Because you've just been lucky all this time.

So did we. Yesterday and today.

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.

Another reason, besides health concerns, that it was imperative to get the seniors vaccinated first- they've been itching to get out and don't have to deal with the unvaccinated kid issue. Boon for the economy.

Kids have suffered disproportionately during this pandemic. If vaccinated seniors aren’t ready to to take on risk, they should stay home.

OMG no. Kids have not suffered disproportionately.

Let the suffering Olympics begin!

I mean, it really depends on what kids you are talking about. There are kids at home being neglected and abused, some without food. Their parents have lost jobs or their family members have died of covid they contracted doing essential work. My kids have it pretty good in their "pods." But for some kids, the pandemic has caused tremendous suffering.

Sitting in an indoor space with maskless adults with the diagram of the Korean restaurant transmission study in my head for an hour or two would not be my idea of a good time.

+1. My kids are 2 and 5 and still in childcare. We are outdoors a couple times last year, but eating indoors with them is just not at the top of my list of things to do right now. It’s not a relaxing outing by any means! Have the older one back in swim lessons instead, and hope that the zoo will reopen soon.
