[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are our kids at risk playing soccer?  Yes.  There is risk to everything.  Everything.  There is risk is sitting in your closet and not coming out too.  Life is a balancing act of risk.  It all boils down to whether or not the risk is worth the reward. If I had the option, I would send my kids to school 5 days a week. I'd also let them play soccer.  If there is a spike and hospitals are getting overwhelmed, I'd back off.  Now if I was in charge of  schools, I'm not sure what I'd do.  Because it's hard to decide what risks others should take.[/quote]

Yes!!! That's a good way to put it. I've been getting annoyed about the school threads. Even as a parent who wants my kids back in school, I am put off by the lack of regard for teachers and staff, no mention risks. Sure, kids don't get the sick and don't die . . . mostly. But if too many kids get COVID and school and give it to mom or dad (or worse grandma or grandpa), and the one of them takes it work, and so on and so on. I am so glad I am not making these decisions.

Back to soccer, I am struggling with this too. My short answer is "who the hell knows?" We are seeing my elderly parents in a week (a calculated risk) and are minimizing exposure in advance of that visit. After that, I'm not sure.

One of my kids has a chronic health condition. I would give up anything, including sports and full time school for my kids, if I could go back in time and eliminate DC's suffering. It isn't a condition that we could have prevented, but I'm saying that from a health perspective, there is more to worry about than death.

Even with that background, my kids love soccer, so I will probably let them play. I wish the return were slower, like maybe 3 v 3 competitions spread through the field.[/quote]
