I hope my kids and I get Covid this summer so we can be done with it before fall. Anyone else?

I’m under the viewpoint that most people who aren’t largely sheltering in place will eventually get Covid. So u dear the assumption that we will eventually get it, I would prefer for that to happen during the summer so that their education and my job (I’m a teacher) isn’t disrupted during the school year. Does anyone else share this sentiment?

Nope.

Sure, as long as you are okay with disability or death that might have been prevented by new medicines, treatments, or vaccines.

While I tend to agree with you OP, I don't think we are going back in the fall, so your point of getting covid is moot. But ITA, that at some point, we will all be exposed to it at some point or another.

If it were guaranteed it wouldn’t be serious and guaranteed to never get it again...sure. Unfortunately, I live in the real world and neither of those things are true.

We are all healthy and DH and I are under 50, so yes I am comfortable with the less than 1% chance of that happening to us.

Hoping to get it this summer? No. Resigned to the fact that it is a real possibility? Yes. I'm willing to take some risks (ie daycare) rather than working and providing childcare to young children simultaneously.

They have not proven immunity after recovering. Why would you want to go through this if it doesn't prevent future infection?

I don't "hope" to get it, but I also am no longer worried about it.

+1.

I will follow reasonable precautions to avoid getting it such as distancing and mask wearing. However I am not worried about getting it. There are too many other things to worry about, like finding child care and whether our jobs will survive the recession.

No, you moron.

+ People are not recovering without damage to internal organs. I don't want anyone to get it.

Would you say the same about Polio?
