We plan to send DD to public school masked AND we will have to mask at home because my husband has a blood disorder which makes him extremely high risk.

We will mask at home when she is home so she can catch a break from masking. HEPA filter and distancing, ventilation, etc. At night doors closed and HEPA unit in hallway between our bedrooms.

DD will lunch away from her peers so she can be unmasked to eat.

Our goal is no exposure at all. It will be hard, but may not be impossible. In our case its worth the effort because the risk to my husband from any form of covid is extreme. Im high risk from hypertension, but lack risk factors like heart issues or obesity. So I may just be elevated risk.

If we didnt have these risks, we would just mask in public settings and not at home.

What’s your end game? Or do you just intend to do this until your kid leaves for college and presumably never comes back?

The end game is for poster to stay alive to see their kids go to college. Empathy is always a good thing in life.

So you think it is rational to keep up those actions for years/decades? Despite having effective vaccines and treatments?

I really don't understand that at all.

The vaccines are not stopping transmission and not everyone has access to treatments. I got covid a month ago and begged my doctors for something and they said no as they were concerned about side effects and rebound. They said if it got bad enough go to the ER. It got really bad but I couldn't get out of bed to even go to the ER.

I don't understand how you don't get how someone with cancer might be concerned about covid and how you think its no big deal to get covid while in cancer treatment. My kid lost a parent to cancer. Thankfully you have no idea the impact of that.

I have cancer. I’m in chemo right now. And I will never understand the Covid crazies. I mask when indoors when around others. I do not require my kids to or my husband to for that matter. Not everyone who is immunocompromised thinks death is lurking around every corner. Some of us are grounded.

How compassionate and empathetic of you to make your judgments on people when you know nothing about their situations. I don’t know if grounded would be the right word to describe you… but I’ll leave it at that.

No. It’s grounded. I don’t expect anyone else to be responsible for me or my health. That’s grounded.

My oncologist has already been crapped on here for telling me this (which is funny because my 5cm tumor is almost gone - she is rocking my treatment) but she said “Go out and live your life!” Indoor crowded spaces I should be cautious and wear a mask, but otherwise I should go about my business.

Because those of us who've been through chemo know that an oncologist who's telling a chemo patient to not be Covid-cautious is incompetent.

Going through chemo makes you qualified on…absolutely nothing.

Really? Even if while I was on chemo I was exposed a stomach bug from one of kids (who were all <11yo at the time) which put me in the hospital for a couple of nights because chemotherapy (along with having cancer) makes you more susceptible to infections? So maybe I'm kind of a little more knowledgeable about this than some random internet trolls.

Why, 2 1/2 years into this, do we STILL have Covid minimizers trolling around on this board??? It's so bizarre.

Why do we still have mental health minimizers? Why are you allowed to discuss your cancer but I can't discuss how my HoH mother has been completely isolated by masks or that seeing them all the time triggers PTSD in my friend who was raped or that the isolation I've been subjected to because of mandatory WFH has made me suicidal? Why can you discuss your concerns and I can't?

+1 the lockdowns and having to help my kids with virtual schooling for a year have absolutely destroyed our family. I became depressed, the house is in shambles, and my kids now have anxiety. We dropped all activities and I haven’t been able to get my kids back to normal. My kids have little to no life or friends.

I’m a teacher. Hybrid learning began in March 2021 and at no point since then, including all last school year, were kids ever fully online again by necessity. We had an entire year of in person school. If your kids do not have friends or a life in august 2022, something bigger is going on that you need to address. You cannot let the time period of virtual learning that ended 18 months ago be a scapegoat forever.

DP. It took my son until this January to get back to close to normal. And the events that happened in the interim will have lasting consequences. Not to mention all the money spent on therapy. I hope that the consequences disappear but no, you cannot just mandate that they do.

PP is right though, in that some people are over the top. I have a cousin who is immune-compromised and picks and chooses. Will go to large events unmasked, for instance, but I am not allowed to see his mother, my 96 year old aunt who lives with them, due to covid-risk. And I’m supposed to give them a week at our beach place because ‘that’s the only vacation place they feel comfortable”. Meanwhile, large fairs, ball games, etc are ‘game on’. And their adult kid, who also lives with them, works outside the home (as does his wife) and literally brought Covid into the house. The rules for some are for their own convenience.

Jeez. Just clean your dang house! It's not like you're going anywhere or doing anything else And you're probably one of those posters who criticize people for wearing a mask, while you live in a pig sty!

Yes but it’s now AUGUST. What has the PP done for her kids? Besides blame virtual learning from 2 years ago.

I just tested positive yesterday. I have a TERRIBLE sore throat, fever, body aches, cough and cold symptoms. Not fun. The worst is the sore throat and fever. It's really a bummer because I'm supposed to start my new job on Monday.

I had that at the beginning of May. Was that pre BA.5? Or before?

My parents have crazy rules and I just don’t see them.

No. It’s grounded. I don’t expect anyone else to be responsible for me or my health. That’s grounded.

But your implying others with cancer are “Covid crazies” if they ask their family members to wear masks in crowded places. “Live and let live” is truly grounded.
