True! By June you should have a handle on any long term effects, learned how to give your kid the insulin, etc. Then in June, when the virus that's been happily mutating all along reinfects your family, we will get to see what exciting new cell damage y'all get. 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.

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.

I would expect that they'd already be isolating, with parents being sure to get vaccinated/boosted while also wearing PPE in public.

I get it isn't a great situation to be in, but what else is there? There's always going to be COVID, and there's always going to be two year old leukemia patients.

This isn't a new issue- immunocompromised kids similarly faced risk of influenza and other respiratory diseases during flu season.

What else is there? How about some of you stop a few in person activities for a few weeks? Literally one person not going to their idiotic maskless fitness class right now can potentially stop hundreds of infections. It matters folks. Your fatalism is manufactured.

Then what? COVID will still be around after those few weeks. I honestly don't know what you're trying to accomplish. That's not going to stop infections. At most it will delay them a bit. Is that your goal?

"Flattening the curve" has been a goal since the first spike. Overflowing hospitals aren't good for anyone.

Why is it so hard for people to do something as trivial as wearing a mask?

Beats me.

Clearly that hasn't been the goal, otherwise why did we maintain restrictions when hospitals weren't threatened earlier this year?

Why do you think this is about masks? Or are you saying we should drop all other restrictions and maintain the mask policy? I’d be fine with that.

To everyone still engaging the troll that says we all must be horrible parents who simply want our kids away from us simply for wanting them in school....stop....she is a troll....what a loser.

He/she is so irrational and incoherent, it can be fun sport to engage with, though.

If you want your kids to stay in school, then what are you going to do to make that happen?

That's what it really comes down to. You are pretty horrible if you don't recognize how serious of a situation we are in again and if you aren't willing to be part of the solution, stop complaining. Name calling as a grown adult is silly.

Keeping our kids, families and community safe is very important to many of us. The problem is we cannot do it alone and your behavior and actions impact our families, our children and our ability to keep our kids safely in school.

We don't really have any restrictions. Covid is spreading very quickly with the schools. They need to do more cleanings, social distancing, mandatory weekly testing, real quarantines, and stop sports since that seems to be a super spreader.

You are a troll. You need to find something better to do. Maybe get out and go see that everyone around you is out and about. Germs are not to be contained. We protect our bodies from germs using vaccines and immunity. I can't believe I just engaged with you....you are a troll and we all need to stop engaging you. Myself included.

DP here. Everything PP said makes perfect sense - the messaging is coherent and calm, and the content is logical.

So I don't know why you're calling them a troll. You're both allowed to hold different opinions. This is a discussion board. It's kind of the point, no?

So they don't become overwhelmed,,, The instant we let our guard down the numbers surge. This has happened many times already.

Agree their points are reasonable and sound. I think some people just aren't able to grasp how their actions affect others.

Email my elected representatives on the County Council to tell them that MCPS needs to stay open.
