[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you seen pictures from FL? They're acting like there's no virus. I have close family there so I hear a lot about it (and see on social media). [/quote]

I don't understand the thought process behind this. Haven't they heard about the people who lost their lives or are suffering long-term impacts? [/quote]

They've heard about it, but it seems distant and at least until recently the news was focused more on how things were terrible in the Midwest or now California or the Northeast.  We're in Palm Beach County.  DD is in 2nd grade and ALL of her friends parents are just over Covid.  Many of them did stay home in the spring and were cautious for a while but now they're done.  The moms are getting together for girls night out and having the kids play together without masks.  I see pictures on social media daily of people in the gym unmasked or a little league games, or going out to eat.  There are enough people down here who are just not worried about it that I don't actually understand why the spread isn't worse.

My kids understand why they can't get together with their friends, but when I see all the posts on social media of our friend groups getting together without us I begin to wonder if there's something wrong with how we're handling this.  And then I remember that there's actually a global pandemic despite the way so many people here are acting.  But seeing so many people unconcerned does mess with your perception of risk.[/quote]
