My kids understand the consequences of a parent getting sick and dying. Particularly the dying part. Yes, we are vaccinated but one parent is not extremely low risk due to health issues. You are clearly blessed with good health. Not all of us are and what might take you a few days to get over, would take me weeks. My kids are loving, thoughtful and considerate and care about others. I hope you are teaching your kids to be good and kind people who think more than just themselves. Its sad and pathetic that you simply don't get that not everyone has a charmed life like you do. |
As of 5:49 AM, 4/22, that number is slowly increasing. 1035 reported cases. I know multiple people with covid right now. |
DP FWIW, I know an obese 50 year old with diabetes and autoimmune issues who had covid over winter break. Boosted, so it was very mild. I know a 74 year old who also had a mild case in March. I could go on. Vaxxed and boosted people are not dying these days. Your fear is misplaced and anxiety-inducing. I took a cruise and flew when planes were unmasked. I didn’t catch covid and haven’t had it at all throughout the pandemic as far as I know…even when my kid had it (caught it at school). I have 2 autoimmune disorders btw. |
Sounds like we need to a lockdown for about two weeks. You know, flatten curve. That always works. |
And not a single peep about virtual. We've finally achieved end game. Feels great to be in this spot. |
Yesssssss. LOL |

FWIW, I'm vaxxed and boosted and currently have COVID. It is awful, worst I have felt in a decade. But I'm not going to die or be hospitalized from this. I also don't think we should go virtual or bring back mask mandates. I DO think we should all recognize the middle ground- treat this like an extremely bad flu season. We don't need to go overboard, but we should be vigilant. I think that individuals taking extra precautions- like CHOOSING to mask in crowded areas when the implications of getting sick and being out of commission are bad, be thoughtful about when it is worth it to go to those crowded areas, and do whatever can possibly be done to boost immune system, etc. |
Yea for you. |
Feel better. |
Mcps was clear all year that they would be ignoring Covid. We have not come close to the end game. |
It’s sad you have instilled such fear in your children. The chances of a non-elderly vaccinated person dying are extremely low. You should probably be more concerned about driving in your car. It stinks because you clearly think you’re doing the right thing but what you’re instead doing is raising anxious children who are scared of everything. I’d suggest reading the recent Atlantic article on masking and fear. |
Yes, that question was asked, and the PP responded by saying that the immunologist concurred (see bolded above). Why are you trying to make it sound like the conversation was about something else? Are you the PP who quoted the immunologist, but he actually concurred with a different question? Then you should have made that clear. |
You should read all articles on how parents have the fundamental right on how to raise their children. If you’ve never heard of the life skill called minding your own business, you should learn about it. |
They had a parent die. You can minimize Covid for your family but not ours. I suggest you grow up and be part of the solution and not the problem. |
And, we just had a close relative die in their late 50s. |
