Yes or No: Do you trust your teammates parents re: Covid?

[Anonymous]

A simple question: Do you trust your kid's teammate's parents will keep their kids home from practice if they are showing symptoms of COVID19 (i.e. fever, cough, etc)?

[Anonymous]

Yes, for 90% of our team.
No, for one or two parents (who have said stuff like "it's no big deal", and "everyone should just get it and be over with it")

Yes.

I don't know any of them that well - just superficially. So I neither trust nor distrust them.

Yes

I said yes earlier but agree I would not trust the one or two saying something like that. But there are also parents who won’t trust anybody willing to put their kids out to play before vaccine. And I am certainly glad I do not need to deal with them as much as I need to deal with those who say this is a hoax or without risk.

I don't know them all especially well, so it's impossible to say.

I *do* know our coach is a "get over it/gotta live life/play soccer" type, so we're probably gonna skip fall season. He seems like he'd want the kids to play even if it was a little unsafe.

Travel or Rec? if travel, do you think there will be a spot available when you do decide to join back?

[Anonymous]

No I know the parents will push to get their kid back. They are worried about losing their spot.

[Anonymous]

No.

Don’t worry - they don’t trust you either, in any respect.

Yes.

No, because there are a lot of parents who don't care and send their kids sick anyway.

[Anonymous]

Yes but that’s not the problem. The problem is that a kid without symptoms is contagious.

There will be many crazy "Karens" mothers that will self-appoint themselves as the health official. She will go ballistic the minute she hears a kid sneezes or coughs. Or for competitive reasons, she might even claim to the referee that she heard a other team's best player coughing like crazy in the parking lot.

As for trusting other parents. Why would you trust the health of your child to stranglers? Their expectations, life perspective and priorities mighst be completely different than your own.
