Thanks for signing up for this medical experiment, PP. You really are doing your part to advance science.

My one kid is vaccinated. My other kid is vaccinated and boostered. I am vaccinated and boostered. And you are a troll.

No. I'm a parent with a vaccinated and boostered kid who is at the end of my rope that all the other nice white parents like you are too selfish to care about potentially spreading covid to others. Since your own family is protected you don't give a damn about the two year old next door, or the cancer patient in your daughter's class. You have a blm matters sign on your lawn, I'd expect, but you remain blissfully ignorant about what this virus is doing in low-income communities, to the low-income families at your school, and what it will continue to do to families without access to health care. A million American tragedies are happening all around you, but as long as you have your gym, your date night at Founding Fathers, your kid's swim meet... etc. You tell yourself you deserve all of this and you've done your part--meanwhile ignoring all the people forced to work for low wages with no protection just to keep your bubble going.

(Not jealous. We could be living like you do--but my conscience won't allow it. And so we try to live a life that doesn't spread covid to anyone and doesn't expose anyone to covid.)

They will have a rude awakening as they will get covid at some point even boosted.

Not really. One reason we stay this careful is so that we don't spread COVID. It's not all about the fear of catching it.

Do I want it? Nope. Pretty sure my family HAD it in December 2019--and I had weird symptoms through February. Right around the time everyone locked down was when I started to feel human again. That was also when I realized that the weird fatigue and aches and shortness of breath I'd been having might be something, as others were having it too.

Do I want it again? Really not. But mostly I don't want spreading it on my conscience.

It takes two to tango. Unvaccinated individuals and the medically frail need to take care of themselves.

Anonymous wrote:I think the contract tracing is a joke. A kid my kid eats lunch with everyday has COVID and we received no notification through contract tracing. The kid did tell my kid directly, which is how we know. They eat indoors everyday in a classroom with a teacher.....so apparently none of the contract tracers interviewed either the kid who is positive or the teacher? I'm a little unclear how they are doing contract tracing if they don't speak to anyone about whether there was unmasked exposure.

This has happened to us, as well. MS. We contacted school. We were told that the rule is to be in close proximity with an infected person indoors without masks. But, I would think that lunch time should qualify for exposure. Weird that you have not been notified.

I honestly don't understand why anyone is eating with anyone. The best thing to do would be to have all the eating socially distanced and outside. Does that suck? Yes. So does infecting five friends and the cool teacher who let you eat in her classroom. The cool teacher invited my kid to eat with them too, because she felt sorry for her, and my kid explained that she eats in a corner of a hall near a supply closet ad far away from others as possible. Does this suck? Yes. I wish she could eat outside.

For MS and HS kids, lunch time is the only social time.

Then here is what you do. Eat in your isolated corner. Then put on your mask and go socialize. Shocking, how that's not complicated. It's also true that kids have access to a wealth of social media options they use for socializing. Unless you're concerned they're not having enough time to make out with each other, I don't see the issue.

Your faith in 6 feet of physical distance and a layer or three of fabric is really quite amazing. And entirely without merit. These measures help a small amount, which is somewhat helpful population-wide, but doesn't meaningfully change risk at an individual level.

Who the hell uses fabric? I'm talking five-layer melt-blown serious masks.

I have faith that risk is mitigated if everyone follows basic precautions. It worked so far for our family, knock wood. That's pretty much what risk mitigation IS: taking individual precautions is cumulative. The more who do, the less risk there is. It's pretty criminal mcps didn't look more seriously at what to do about lunch, but here we are.

The lack of a social conscience on this board is mindboggling.

Who uses fabric masks? You really don't get out much, do you.

In fact, I do not. Mainly because there are a bunch of morons running around with fabric masks around their chins.

Normal people don't wear N-95s or equivalent for extended periods of time. Even the doctors and nurses I know don't put on N95s unless they're going into a COVID room.

I don't wear n95s unless going to doctor appointments. Mostly use KF 94, or is it KN 94s? The Korean ones. Are you going to argue now and say those aren't five layers? Whatever, lady.

The points are really simple.

Social distancing and ventilation at lunch.

Good masks at school. On everyone.

Some education about why those things are so important.
.
And a realization that none of that will be enough, long-term, for a virus that's more infectious than measles. Short-term, it's what we have to work with.

So then why bother in a group that isn't going to be ending up in hospitals in significant numbers? The elderly should be isolating and wearing good masks when they need to be around others, but we don't need kids to do that.

Last time i checked, kids live within a community. Their parents and other relatives can get covid from them. Neighbors, friends, strangers. This is not just about the elderly but stopping spread for everyone.

Look, we get it. You cannot have your kids at home and have a difficult homelife. Your kids NEED to be in person school. But, since they need to be, you need to step up and keep them safe by understanding you are living in a community of others and its very easy for them to get it. They will be far more miserable at home sick with covid and then you'll catch it.

I bet it would be more mild than when we all got RSV back in October, particularly since my spouse and I are both vaccinated and boosted. If you're worried about COVID, you should be, too. And if you're still high-risk even after vaccination/boosters, then you're going to have a hard life ahead of you. COVID isn't going away, and anyone participating in society won't be able to avoid it.

It's really interesting to see people just ignore the concept of personal responsibility. It's not April of 2020 anymore- there's a lot people can do to protect themselves. Getting vaccinated/boosted in particular.

DP. If my kid gets it, my vaccinated kid is unlikely to get very sick. If my kid gives it to me, my vaccinated/boosted self is unlikely to get very sick. If either of us gets it, we are relying on testing (and N95 masks, as necessary), plus the vaccine/booster, to reduce the chance of giving it to my vaccinated/boosted parents.

And yeah, my kid needs to be in school, because kids need to be in school.

NP. It takes a really crappy person to repeatedly say medically frail should take care of themselves as if most don't already. Many are literally terrified right now and still have to make doctor's appointments and go in person to get treatment. What is a parent of a two year old leukemia patient supposed to do? It is beyond callous to act this cavalier right now. You know you are wrong, you just want to justify your conscience by creating a straw man.

Look again. The vaccines are still highly effective at preventing severe illness.

Your kids can be in school online. Either act responsibly to reduce the spread or don't complain about virtual.

You should get mental health treatment to help you fix your miserable home life for your kids sake.

Your kids and family are very likely to get sick. Sad you dont care about your unvaccinated kit. You need to get them vaccinated.

^^^Me again, and we also got RSV in October, probably from the vaccinated/boosted college kid. RSV was unpleasant. My parents did not get it, because we stayed away until we were better.

I waited to do appointments till now and then this hit. So, now I have to wait another year and its an issue given some test results. I'd rather take my chances with cancer than get covid.

I'm the PP you're responding to. What are you talking about? Everyone in my family is vaccinated, and everyone who is eligible for a booster has received a booster.

Do I want it? Nope. Pretty sure my family HAD it in December 2019--and I had weird symptoms through February. Right around the time everyone locked down was when I started to feel human again. That was also when I realized that the weird fatigue and aches and shortness of breath I'd been having might be something, as others were having it too.

Do I want it again? Really not. But mostly I don't want spreading it on my conscience.

It takes two to tango. Unvaccinated individuals and the medically frail need to take care of themselves.

That burden should NOT be solely on the most vulnerable. Cancer survivors and immuno-suppressed people are parents, teachers, healthcare providers, too. They need to work to keep a roof over their heads and feed their kids. You think they're only old rich people who can hide in their houses? NO! Don't you dare post such drivel again.

I waited to do appointments till now and then this hit. So, now I have to wait another year and its an issue given some test results. I'd rather take my chances with cancer than get covid.

PP, I'm sorry. If you were asking me for advice, I'd advise you to get cancer treatment and take your chances with covid. But you're not asking me for advice.
