We are not the only ones wear mask at outdoor playground

I know you think saying “well, we follow science” makes you sound super cool and superior, but it actually just makes you sound like an idiot.

LOL at the anti-vaxxer calling others names.

Yes, I’m still worried about little kids even outside. They get right in each other’s faces and everything goes in their mouths. I seriously doubt the scientists tested “climbing a slide ladder after someone licked it”.

So where is the outbreak of kids who got Covid from the park by not wearing masks? There are a lot of places nobody is wearing a mask at a park, yet no rash of toddlers getting sick or dying.

NP. You aren’t at all worried about the more contagious mutations of covid especially now that tourists are descending? I don’t know anyone who wasn’t masked prior to now which could be why they didn’t trace cases of transmission (if they even tried). Now we have the anti-vaccine, unmasked idiots.

This is not a done-deal, PP.

Sorry, not worried. All the adults are vaccinated in my household. Children are low risk. We follow the science. Still, where are the multitudes of sick toddlers? You didn't answer the question.

Multitudes of toddlers don't need to get sick before I take precautions to keep my kids safe. Here's an entire article about kids who died of COVID PP.

No one - parents or kids - are wearing masks at the playground. The playground is like a Benetton ad, with families of every ethnicity.

No stink eyes, no scolding. This area also has a very high vaccination rate, high mask compliance in stores.

Most of the videos I saw that Southern California, people refused to wear a mask.
My cousin lives out there and she said it was absolutely ridiculous amount of people that refused.
One reason California’s numbers were so bad

Same in my DC neighborhood.

Everyone forgets that young kids aren’t vaccinated. High risk ones shouldn’t have to stay indoors now that covid has somehow even more transmissible variants. I’m our DC hood most kids still wear masks when they are on play structures or near other kids. I’m happy to do my part and stop pretending like this is over.

300 kids have died of Covid in the US. None were healthy children.
“ We found that 100% of pediatric COVID-19 deaths were in children with a pre-existing condition, solidifying the case to vaccinate any child with a comorbidity.”

We were masks at the playground if other kids are around.

Honestly though, at this point in the pandemic everyone has a lot of information and processes it differently. You can't expect people do adjust do your opinion of the data. You have to adjust yourself. Either be ok with people not wearing masks on the playground or stop going to playgrounds.

It will never be over. For the last 130 years every pandemic has led to seasonal endemicity.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40656-021-00422-6

“ As an example, every established respiratory pandemic of the last 130 years has caused seasonal waves of infection and has culminated in viral endemicity. Despite this robust observation, initial models of COVID-19 structurally excluded this possibility through the failure to incorporate seasonal transmission effects, or either pre-existing or partial post-infection immunity to infection. Although SARS-CoV-2 is a novel non-influenza pathogen, the strong seasonal behaviour of closely-related endemic coronaviruses seems a more reliable starting point than the assumption of an unprecedented weather-agnostic respiratory pathogen causing permanent sterilising natural immunity. ”

My moco zip code has maybe 1 case per day at this point and the county is 70% vaccinated so much lower risk for kids.

I’m sorry, are you saying that contract tracing was not done because of masking practices? That masks were so effective that there was no need to contact trace? Actually contact tracing is impossible once cases explode, so it was a huge failure here. It had nothing to do with masks...in fact, CDC quarantine guidelines were no different for exposures with and without masks.

Interestingly, one of the first known infections in the US was a woman in Chicago who only infected her husband. Presumably there was near zero immunity in the community at the time.

“ Patient 1—a woman in her 60s—returned from China in mid-January, 2020. One week later, she was hospitalised with pneumonia and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Her husband (Patient 2) did not travel but had frequent close contact with his wife. He was admitted 8 days later and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Overall, 372 contacts of both cases were identified; 347 underwent active symptom monitoring, including 152 community contacts and 195 health-care personnel. Of monitored contacts, 43 became persons under investigation, in addition to Patient 2. These 43 persons under investigation and all 32 asymptomatic health-care personnel tested negative for SARS-CoV-2.”

Has there ever been one single confirmed case where someone (adult or child) got covid from an outdoor playground?

Not "mixed" like carpooled together then played at the playground, but strictly outdoor playing? Any evidence at all? Even one case?

At this point if you're making or encouraging your kids to wear a mask outdoors, I feel so sorry for the kid. Because chances are they are dealing with so much parental anxiety in other forms beyond covid/masks, constantly at home and even long before.

We don't mask our kids outside, and yep, colds have returned. Small price to pay, I think.

We masked all last summer, fall and winter. We masked this spring. But now, both parents are vaccinated and community spread of covid is VERY low. VERY VERY LOW.

I no longer require my kids to wear a mask while outdoors.
