[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Still[b] 2000 Americans dying a day of Covid.[/b]  We fought a 20 year war over less than twice that many deaths in a day.[/quote]

The vast, vast, vast majority of those 2000 people are unvaccinated adults.  Clearly, they should have gotten vaccinated.  [/quote]

It’s not just the unvaccinated.  My coworker who was fully vaxxed and boosted contracted COVID and passed away this month.  While most of those hospitalized and dying from COVID are unvaccinated, we need to realize it is still killing and disabling others.[/quote]

Yes, bad things can happen.  You can be killed by someone texting while driving, you can be shot during a mass shooting, you can get cancer, you can die of the flu, you can have a heart attack.  Did you know that about 650,000 people die of heart disease every year?  Did you know that over 70,000 people die from diabetes every year?

Just because a small number of vaccinated people are dying of Covid does not mean that we should have a mask mandate in public schools.[/quote]

Blah blah blah car accidents blah blah blah drownings, etc, etc. if you’re that simple to not understand the difference between that and a pandemic of an illness transmitted by frigging BREATHING, I hope you don’t have children. Pathetic.[/quote]
