[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pro-vaccine and pro-mask. I prefer they keep the masks for now.

But if they drop them, and kids stop wearing them, I am never - I repeat - never taking another covid test or giving one to my children. If we are letting the chips fall, then we are letting the chips fall. We are not isolating for 5 days because a bunch of people didn't want to wear masks. [/quote]

I’m pro-vaccine, ready for masks to come off once this Omicron surge is done absent some crazy new variant, and would totally be fine getting rid of quarantines and testing. All this contact tracing is just extra work for schools and I’m not convinced it’s slowing the spread when the cat is so far out of the bag so to speak. Let’s go back to staying home if sick with fever, heavy nasal discharge, vomiting, contagious rash, etc. I’d even be fine raising the return to 48 hours (as opposed to 24 hours) after these symptoms disappear. But it’s insane how much time I’ve wasted at the pediatrician’s office getting a return to school note for a kid with sniffles. And I’m not the only one taking a basically healthy kid in for an appointment just so they can go back to school, which is a hugely inefficient use of our medical community during a pandemic. Time to end the charades of managing this thing anymore than we have.[/quote]

+1  No mask mandate, no quarantines, no contact tracing in schools.  Let's start this as soon as the case count falls back into the moderate level (like it was 2.5 months ago).  [/quote]

Great idea and then the numbers will go right back up.[/quote]

Case numbers don’t matter. Only severe disease rates matter and they are pretty low with omicron, especially if vaxed. [/quote]
