We’ve always been careful and followed protocols but now as this new Kawasaki-like thing has started to hit kids and people are getting looser with social distancing I am getting more vigilant.
Anyone else? |
Yes. I am more concerned now that people will take social distancing and general precautions less seriously upping all of our risks. We were out walking yesterday and a friend from my daughter’s school was out with her family. The kids has zero concept of social distancing and the parents didn’t do anything to stop them. My thinking is, that is exactly the type of family we’d have to be most concerned about. How many other kids/families places have they been? |
The Kawasaki thing is extremely rare get some perspective. |
In the words of Mad-Eye Moody: “Constant vigilance!” Wear your mask, wash your hands, socialize outside from a safe distance, and vote for the right team in November: we’ll have a vaccine sooner! |
No, I'm over it. We are staying home and I wear a mask when at the grocery store, but I'm not disinfecting things all the time or paranoid. |
So over it. And I am a Democrat and of course I would never support Trump. |
There are 82 reported cases in New York. That’s 10 times more than reported deaths from drop-side cribs in 20 years and they were banned. That’s my perspective. |
LATEST: In New York City there are 82 confirmed cases of Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome associated with COVID-19, an inflammatory syndrome which has features that overlap with Kawasaki disease. https://abcn.ws/3dzd2yK |
News flash: Everyone is over it. That doesn't mean you just throw caution to the wind, unless you are used to living your life in denial. |
There are also 4000-5000 cases per year of Kawasaki as a baseline https://www.cdc.gov/kawasaki/about.html It’s very serious and we obviously need to watch for it. 82 cases is not that many, though. Yet. |
This. We are clearly going to need to get on with things. It may be years or never to a vaccine. |
I'm becoming differently vigilant. I'm less worried about disinfecting my deliveries, for example, and more focused on minimizing time indoors with other people. We're still doing basic hygiene -- washing hands any time we return to the house after being outside, for example -- but most focused on avoiding the places and situations that present the highest risk of transmission. I'm more likely to take the stairs and avoid the elevator, but less concerned about someone passing me on the sidewalk outside when we're only close for a second, at most. I don't plan on eating in restaurants or going to the gym any time soon, but there are considering meeting up with people outside with appropriate distance. |
Uh, the cases are under age 18. That's no exactly apples to apples. Pretty sure no 18 year old is in a crib. |
Same here. |
Made my day! Thanks PP!! |
