[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps your in laws, who are in their 70s have come to terms with how many years they may have left.  And instead of spending the next year or however long it takes to have an effective vaccine in isolation, they are going to live their lives.

I actually completely understand that viewpoint. [/quote]

And wouldn't that all be fine and great if only they could potentially fall ill and/or die?

But NO, dear. No. They can give it to OP, to her husband, to her child. A 40something Broadway actor died the other day. Infants have died. A 5-year-old died. NO ONE is immune. Or, via getting it even with no symptoms from the grandparents, OP's child could pass it on to her daycare group. Do you get it?

If this was just old people willing to run the risk and live their lives, cool. But guess what? They end up in the ER with my 20something cousin taking care of them. They end up, asymptomatic, "socially distancing" at their church, where my sister is the pastor.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT OUR OWN RISK TOLERANCE, PEOPLE. I honestly don't get what you don't get about that. [/quote]
