[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid had it this spring/summer, then you should realize it’s NBD.

If your loved one died, or you developed a long term complication, or you lost your job for taking too many sick days, then you should realize it isn't NBD.  Or, also, if you have a brain in your head to realize that just because something was OK for you your experience isn't universal.

Exactly.  We has a relative die last spring.  My Covid has lasted weeks. It is a big deal.  [/quote]

It can be. Most often it’s not. Just how it is. [/quote]

We can now see the importance of mental health at school as if this is your idea of compassion, no wonder these kids are struggling.  [/quote]

Covid can be serious. Usually it’s not. There you go. [/quote]

It is serious when people are getting it over and over again every few months and it can rapidly be spread in schools.  Keep denying.  I feel for your kids.  [/quote]

DP. “Serious” is relative. Yes, covid is highly contagious, but health outcomes aren’t particularly different from other endemic viruses in non-elderly, vaccinated individuals. Similarly, covid doesn’t significantly change individuals’ overall risk profiles.[/quote]

My relative who died was 50’s.  [/quote]

That’s an anecdote, not data. When looking at vaccinated/boosted individuals and adjusting for age, weekly covid mortality is on par with the flu during the winter. That's not to say some young, healthy people won't die, but that's the case with any disease. It's a big country-- outliers happen.[/quote]

And, what if it is your child who dies? It will be ok with you?   [/quote]

We make public policy for the average not the unusual case. Babies die of flu. Why do we keep treating covid differently in the post vaccine world?[/quote]
