We’ve been down that path before, but things weren’t any better when the case numbers were lower. I’m very truly thrilled that Omicron is both so contagious and vaccine-evading. All the people that have spent the last two years of their lives in fear will finally be forced to to face their fears. With the vaccines providing good protection from severe illness, the county with be fine, and enough people will be convinced that it is time to move on after the Omicron wave peaks.


Tell that to people who get long Covid or die. You are seriously the worst.


It wouldn’t have been my first choice, but there are too many people pushing policies that hurt my kids and family. My spouse is a provider at a local hospital in the DMV. I don’t want it any more miserable there than it already is. But between an Omicron surge versus never-ending covid isolation/quarantine/distancing/masking policies, along with continued closures/restrictions on certain services and activities, I’ll definitely take Omicron. Hands down. My spouse feels the same way.

It’s not just about severe illness. Most pro0le are living as normal. Be real. That’s why we are having the spread.

People with kids- young kids in particular, are not living normal. People with kids with special needs even more so.

And take old people- The people most at risk of severe illness have the fewest restrictions!

Most people, not all, which is what most is, are fully back to normal. Be real.

Perhaps, but not most people with kids.

But old people that are actually high risk for covid? And who are filling up hospitals? Yep, most of them are back to normal.

As you seem to understand, closing schools isn't going to help.

I have young kids and we are back to normal and we are not going back to March off 2020… old people/ immunocompromised should be the ones changing their day to day of they wish

Everyone is high risk to get covid. Yes, it will help stop the spread.

If you are right, then why be fearful of testing? Testing will show schools are safe.

Are you still in denial about the future of covid? It can’t be eradicated. Everyone will be exposed. And that’s fine- with vaccinations, it is no more dangerous than the flu.

And even if it wasn’t fine, it is reality. No level of lockdown could change that reality.

I’m not fearful of testing. I think it is a waste. What would it accomplish? We know there are cases in schools. We know many are contracted outside of school, but testing doesn’t show that. We know kids aren’t high risk, but testing doesn’t reflect that. And we know that high-risk individuals are out doing high-risk activities- individuals that aren’t students and activities that aren’t school.

If you’re really trying to manage covid risks, you’d be focusing on the elderly, and the very small number of unvaccinated adults in the county. They’re the ones in hospitals, not kids.

You sound in denial. We cannot go back to normal till it is under control. Kids have died of Covid. We need mandatory testing to stop school outbreaks. Kids don’t live alone. They bring it back to their families. How do you not get that. I don’t want to be sick. If you do, good on you.

Under control? Do you understand how new highly infectious viruses get “under control”? Through acquired immunity. There are two ways to do that: vaccination and infection. Vaccination is working to reduce severity, but won’t eliminate cases. Whatever additional immunity is possible will come from infections. You don’t have to like it, but at some point you’re going to have to accept it.

And did you say many people are living normally? Including many high-risk individuals. How many grandparents do you think saw their grandkids today? How many fat people 55 and over are going to bars, restaurants, parties, and other crowded events? Those are the people creating problems, not kids going to school.

I wouldn't know as we didn't see family. You are truly obnoxious.

Those same people are the ones sending their kids ot school sick and passing it on to the rest of us. I shouldn't have to get covid from my child because you don't care and about the harm you do to others.

These vaccinations are a temporary fix and they are no longer a fix. With this many, there are bound to be more mutations. So, we have people like you to thank.

Being cautious is good judgement. You should try having some. Maybe you should get your anxiety/depression treated for your family/home life struggles. Your homelife must be so difficult if you have to escape and not enjoy time together as a family.

I’m serious— what’s your longer-term plan? You might be staying home with your kids now, but presumably that will end at some point, won’t it? COVID will still be around. The vaccines can’t get that much better, and will likely never provide durable protection against infection. So what’s your plan?

Most people, not all, which is what most is, are fully back to normal. Be real.


Perhaps, but not most people with kids.

But old people that are actually high risk for covid? And who are filling up hospitals? Yep, most of them are back to normal.

As you seem to understand, closing schools isn't going to help.


Everyone is high risk to get covid. Yes, it will help stop the spread.

If you are right, then why be fearful of testing? Testing will show schools are safe.


Are you still in denial about the future of covid? It can’t be eradicated. Everyone will be exposed. And that’s fine- with vaccinations, it is no more dangerous than the flu.

And even if it wasn’t fine, it is reality. No level of lockdown could change that reality.

I’m not fearful of testing. I think it is a waste. What would it accomplish? We know there are cases in schools. We know many are contracted outside of school, but testing doesn’t show that. We know kids aren’t high risk, but testing doesn’t reflect that. And we know that high-risk individuals are out doing high-risk activities- individuals that aren’t students and activities that aren’t school.

If you’re really trying to manage covid risks, you’d be focusing on the elderly, and the very small number of unvaccinated adults in the county. They’re the ones in hospitals, not kids.


You sound in denial. We cannot go back to normal till it is under control. Kids have died of Covid. We need mandatory testing to stop school outbreaks. Kids don’t live alone. They bring it back to their families. How do you not get that. I don’t want to be sick. If you do, good on you.


Under control? Do you understand how new highly infectious viruses get “under control”? Through acquired immunity. There are two ways to do that: vaccination and infection. Vaccination is working to reduce severity, but won’t eliminate cases. Whatever additional immunity is possible will come from infections. You don’t have to like it, but at some point you’re going to have to accept it.

And did you say many people are living normally? Including many high-risk individuals. How many grandparents do you think saw their grandkids today? How many fat people 55 and over are going to bars, restaurants, parties, and other crowded events? Those are the people creating problems, not kids going to school.


I wouldn't know as we didn't see family. You are truly obnoxious.

Those same people are the ones sending their kids ot school sick and passing it on to the rest of us. I shouldn't have to get covid from my child because you don't care and about the harm you do to others.

These vaccinations are a temporary fix and they are no longer a fix. With this many, there are bound to be more mutations. So, we have people like you to thank.


Your poor kids are stuck in virtual because they know your anxiety is through the roof.

What's your grand plan for avoiding covid for the rest of your life?


Being cautious is good judgement. You should try having some. Maybe you should get your anxiety/depression treated for your family/home life struggles. Your homelife must be so difficult if you have to escape and not enjoy time together as a family.


I’m serious— what’s your longer-term plan? You might be staying home with your kids now, but presumably that will end at some point, won’t it? COVID will still be around. The vaccines can’t get that much better, and will likely never provide durable protection against infection. So what’s your plan?


Why do you care? I truly hope the vaccine will get better as reality is after two doses there is zero point in taking more if they only last 10 weeks and not effective with the new variants.

What is your agenda? What are you teaching your kids about community responsibility during a health pandemic? How long can you go on denying the seriousness of covid? What will it take to get you to take it seriously? Watching one of your family members getting really sick? Dying?
