[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like you have parents who allow screen time and others post how they allow 30 minutes once per week, you have parents who need to do social distancing better than everyone else and discuss on forums like this. I'm not sure if it's an anxiety coping technique or what.....but it's certainly not limited to the current pandemic.

My boomer parents are at the grocery store multiple times per week....sometimes in more than one store in a day! So I don't particularly worry about letting my kid ride his bike outside with other neighborhood kids. He knows not to play tag or basketball though and comes home if it shifts in that direction.

We're all doing the best we can. Some posters here just need to make it clear how their best is better than everyone else.

Really disturbing article in the NY Times today about the effect of no-outside time on Spain's children, if anyone is interested. I'm all for taking this public health crisis seriously, but it was never realistic to achieve 100% perfect social distancing. Overall, we've done pretty well. But some states are opening up and it's getting a little riot-y in a few places. What we're doing isn't sustainable. [/quote]

Screen time won’t kill you and put you in the ICU.  Social distancing us not sustainable but it should be done now so we don’t end up needing to do it for any longer than necessary.  Everyone—please enroll on an MPH program so you can at least sound intelligent [/quote]
