100% agree and the interventions haven't even worked and may be making it worse. For example, what kind of evolutionary pressure is mass mask wearing going to put on the virus? To make it insanely infectious.

This is literally not how any of this works.

I'm so glad you didn't suffer long term consequences or die, but, as you know, millions of other people did not have a good outcome. COVID is not just another flu.

Actually the flu is more dangerous for many people than covid.

No matter what metric you use, COVID is much worse than the flu. More lethal, more contagious, and more long term effects for more people. Which is what we expect since it is a novel virus.

Wrong, flu is more dangerous to kids than Covid. You are just flat out wrong.

Yeah that seems like junk science. But so does masking kids.

Do either of you care to defend this notion given the general principles of natural selection and the fact the UK variant is in fact more transmissible?

That's not a fact, it's one theory but not well supported.

The UK is doing great now due to vaccines. No deaths in London. Cases in UK flat, deaths way down.

And parents in UK actually fought masking in schools. They will be out of this mess before we are. They are vaccinating people faster, delaying 2nd dose. And kids having some normalcy.

Stop feeding the (non-DC area) trolls. They are just trying to create division.

Ok well it is your right to be wrong I guess.

See you in this thread next year!

This is the parent's fault, not public schools. I run with my teen girl 4 days a week. It is our together time. My 5 yo is in gymnastics, Tball and we also exercise her regularly. It is also the parents fault for allowing them to eat ridiculous amounts of junk and fast food to keep them out of your hair. Children and adult's need strict eating time's to adhere too. We get 3 meals and 1 healthy snack is allowed. Water only and my husband and I allow wine one night a week. Restraint people!

Yup. I'm British and my nicest and nephews have been in school all year without masks. Thr UK prioritizes education. It's no wonder this country is full of ding-dongs. Our politicians are an embarrassment. Don't give a shit about education

This thread isn’t about your dogs, ma’am.

(But if you’re actually talking about human children, your oblivious points were addressed well before you dropped your amazing truth bomb on this thread... you sanctimonious idiot. And holy shit learn how to use an apostrophe.)

I don’t understand how this is the school’s fault. This sounds like yet another thing parents don’t want to take responsibility for. It’s not sanctimonious to tell parents to parent.

I am late to this thread and haven't read all the posts. But I've been shocked by how big some kids have gotten in the past year that I haven't seen since last Spring. But my area didn't help matters by roping off all the parks, neighbors calling the police if they saw kids playing a pick up game of baseball, and banishing all outside team sports and practices. Parents got a really raw deal.

And if you're a single mom, you live in a one bedroom apartment with two kids in a not-nice neighborhood, you don't have a car, you work 30 hours a week at Walmart and 20 hours a week at a gas station?
