[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel quarantine is for unvaxxed only. [/quote]

Which is all kids under 12. Most of the school system. Why are people so obtuse?[/quote]

I get that it really sucks to not be able to get younger kids vaccinated. But it also sucks for those kids to get COVID, [b]especially given mounting evidence that the Delta variant is resulting in more, sicker kids[/b]. So the travel quarantine—which as another poster notes can be shortened via testing—seems like a reasonable way to help stem spread. Most travel is a choice, and we’re all having to make hard choices right now.

All of that said, I agree that the travel quarantine could be more refined/nuanced than it is. It is silly that you can travel to the VA-TN border, where vaccination rates are likely quite low and COVID-19 rates much higher, but not to Philadelphia or NYC or Boston, where the opposite is the case.[/quote]

The delta variant is more contagious, but in the past day or so I've seen quotes from pediatric infectious disease specialists saying that the delta variant is not necessarily resulting in a more severe case of COVID than either original COVID or other variants, though it is early.

If that is not correct, can you point to the information on severity?

And before this potentially goes off the rails, I'm not saying I want anyone's kid with underlying health conditions (or anyone else) to get COVID or denying that MIS-C exists. [/quote]
