Would you eat out with unvaccinated kids

This response doesn't even make sense. Sounds like the pp and her kids are having nice things. Try it.

We've only eaten outside (real outside, not in a tent in a parking lot because that's inside to me). DH and I are newly vaccinated and we will still only eat outside until our cases are way lower. I don't even eat just anywhere, I have a couple of spots I trust and know the spacing etc. and those are the outdoor places I eat.

Face it; while you were hiding at home, the majority of people were out enjoying their lives. If it helps you to say that you were unselfish and considerate of others (or in reverse that we were selfish) by all means.
I'm just happy we didn't throw away a year of our lives.

Did you catch Covid?

Do they sit together at a table and talk? My kids are stuck at the or desks with a shield and can’t talk during lunch.

FCPS kids here. Mine can talk at lunch. They’re separated but they’re high schoolers and they’re able to sit near their friends and talk. Masks off bc they’re eating.

It’s fine. The kids ate lunch together in the school studies as well. Transmission was low in school settings.

Nope.

Yes, and now 500,000+ people are dead. Do you... not see the connection? It doesn't matter if you personally got and spread COVID or not. In the aggregate, "people out enjoying their lives" killed many, many human beings, like some of my loved ones. That's why we were supposed to not do *A FRACTION* of what we do to enjoy our lives. That's literally how this entire thing works. You know-- novel virus, exponential growth?

We did before we were vaccinated, so we continue to now that we both are. And statistically speaking, the kids are already vaccinated. It truly is nothing more than a flu *for children*

[Anonymous]

Yes. We already have several times. No one is vaccinated.

Oh jeez, realize that some families aren’t as miserable as yours.

I will never understand people who raise children who are incapable of dining out.

There were times when dining out with our kids was no fun (toddler years) but we live going out now that they’re older.

And yes we’ve eaten inside several times and none of us are vaccinated.

I’d wait on indoor dining with kids till cases per 100k were below 10. We’re still at 17.

Agree. That said, my kids are in school two days and play outdoor sports (and DH and I aren’t even vaccinated yet). I’m just not willing to take any measurable risk to eat indoors (especially as it will be getting warmer and we can eat outdoors again). I am willing to take some risk for the kids to be able to go to school and play their outdoor fall/spring sports because those things are hugely beneficial to them.

How do you explain how the most locked down state (CA) fared similarly to one of the least locked down states (FL)? I'd like to hear your take, because the pro lockdown scientists can't explain it.

DP. Did Florida even test and take accurate statistics? I thought they fired the woman who was trying to do that.

Lots of differences in how COVID deaths were counted across states:
https://www.statnews.com/2021/01/25/undercounting-covid-19-deaths-greatest-in-pro-trump-areas-analysis-

In any case, LA was extremely hard hit. A lot of people there simply refused to mask, on top of urban density and the usual vulnerability factors. I think we would have to control for compliance levels in communities as well as factors like population density, income, age, access to education and healthcare... COVID Act Now has started to show a vulnerability level for each county. I haven’t seen a breakdown of excess mortality in various areas according to this.
