I would let her see her boyfriend. That seems like a step too far.

Agreed.

Keep in mind there are teens on here too pretending to be adults. If she sees her boyfriend there is no 6 feet apart. There is making out at mildest and other bodily fluid exchange possible. Virus city.

Groups of kids are riding up and down our street all day until dark

Im a public health nurse. As long as you teach your kids to wash their hands well (and regularly), to keep a respectable distance, and avoid personal contact they are perfectly fine to go out and see a few friends. What you need to avoid is large groups particularly in tight spaces.

People are panicing and acting like this is the end of the world. We have these disease upticks literally every 2-3 years. It will last a few months until people learn more about the disease.

Locking your kids up does not do anything to help, denying them any social activities only makes it far more scary then it already is.

You are misinformed. This is a disease that is more contagious and more deadly than the flu. It also causes a large number of asymptomatic cases which are also highly contagious - particularly in young people. Essentially teenagers can be walking virus bombs, unknowingly spreading the disease. In fact, epidemiological models are showing that most of the spread is due to asymptomatic cases.

Imagine that you let your teen, who hasn't been out at all, to hang out with some friends because it's a birthday ("just this one time, it's special, etc"). But one of the other kids unknowingly has the virus, but no symptoms. Then your kid gets it. And unknowingly spreads it to you who visits your elderly parents the next day before you get sick. Boom.

That's the problem - we can tell them to do this but they just don't even the best kids who have the best of intentions.

+1 SMH. You clearly don't have teens, or even remember being a teen. A lot of those teens have parents in 50s and 60s, which is a higher risk group, and I don't want my DH to get it because we left it to my teens to handle.

My teen is meeting with the same group of friends to hang out routinely it’s 4-5 and they don’t go in public. Not ideal, but it seems like what most people I know are ok with

My 20 year old (home from college) is about to uber to his friends house. He was going to metro, I told him to Uber.

My 15 year old has asked to metro to his friends house and I said no. I'm making him stay home and h'es pissed. I don't trust he'll use the proper hygiene habits and I don't trust that he wont metro somewhere else.

+2 the bolded part shows how even medical professionals are spreading misinformation. According to the CDC and the WHO this is nothing like what we’ve seen. With all due respect, I prefer to stick with the recommendations of the people who are actual experts in this stuff.

You are doing isolation when the govt ask for social distancing.

You should have realized a long time ago that governments are always late. By the time they implement something, it's really time to move on to the next restriction.

Yes just lock it down now. The government is soon to follow. Trump shouid have done this Monday or last week
