We always eat early so we would be first seating.
Would you eat out with unvaccinated kids when parents are vaccinated?
Absolutely. Covid is not particularly dangerous for kids. Once adults are vaccinated it’s hard to to justify restrictions on children.
Well, here's the thing. While you are toting your kids out and about, not worried because YOU are vaccinated, your children can catch and spread covid to a lot of people who are NOT vaccinated yet. Thus, the warnings about maintaining distancing and masking and so on until the pandemic is truly under control and more people are vaccinated. To only think of yourself and your children is exactly what people mean when they say you are selfish.
What does that look like? Kids won’t be vaccinated for a long time. Once the elderly and high risk are vaccinated, what’s the harm?
Perhaps you haven't heard that there are
many people who can't get vaccinated because they are immune-compromised. And many children are also immune-compromised. Moreover, we are talking about right now, when 80% of adults have not been vaccinated, including many who are still high risk but didn't qualify for the first round of vaccines or haven't been able to get an appt.
