+4. Covid was easily one of the mildest illnesses we had during the pandemic. Two out of the four of us were completely asymptomatic, and that was even before they were vaccinated. |
I don't know about that. I think my experience was pretty common. |
I suspect the pp is the sort of person that acts like she’s on her deathbed every time she gets sick. |
I think you need some serious empathy lessons and don't care about anyone but yourself. It is not mild for everyone. |
From the person who wants the rest of the world to change their behavior so she doesn’t have to take responsibility for herself…
|
What are you talking about? We are extremely careful and not the fake careful people pretend to be. I want basic precautions. That’s not unreasonable given how contagious this is. |
And? It is for most. If it's a concern for you, wear a quality mask. You have options. |

SIAP but I have not read the entire thread…
What are folks going to do if your child has COVID? Stay home from school until negative? What if positivity lingers for 10-14 days? At what point do you just say enough is enough and send your kid back to school? DH currently has COVID and he’s had symptoms and been testing positive for 11 days now. Ugh. |
It’s five days, then mask for another five days. No reason to test, given that a positive test doesn't necessarily mean a contagious infection. |
There are certainly some posters here demanding ridiculous Covid policies on everyone because they won’t take whatever individual measures are necessary to protect themselves. There's no reason for indefinite masking or quarantine policies at this point. |
Clearly you don’t get Covid and the high transmission rate. Of course those of us concerned still mask but it’s not that simple in a large school with 1000+ students and staff. |
Yes we stayed home and pulled our kids from all activities. That is what decent people do. They go back when we all test negative. |
Kids cannot mask at lunch. |
They can chew under their masks like airlines used to ask us to do. You can mask at home. |
You clearly don’t get that Covid is with us permanently. You’re not going to escape it if you’re willing to rejoin society. Permanent mask mandates and kicking healthy kids out of school aren’t going to change that. |
