[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand the argument that parents are making about how their children “need to see their friends” so schools should open. It’s like people have blinders on and refuse to acknowledge that isolation is literally the only way to control the spread of the virus. Of course your children are isolated. If they aren’t, you’re not doing it right. Does it suck? Yes. Does dying alone gasping for air on a ventilator also suck? Yes.

Further, if you really think it’s safe for groups of people to gather together, nothing is stopping you from allowing your child to hang out with their friends. Nothing. It doesn’t mean we need to endanger thousands of people who actually care about mitigation and preventing the spread of the new variants (and further mutation of the virus). Do people not understand that we could wind up with vaccine resistant strains and prolong the pandemic by YEARS by refusing to comply with social distancing? I’m so sick of living this way because some people refuse to make ANY sacrifices. [/quote]

Yeah, you need to take it down a notch. [/quote]

Yeah, literally most of the parents here were talking about how their children were making great sacrifices in a critical period of their lives. Children as a whole are giving up the most during the pandemic. These are documented and increasing harms. At some point, you have to consider whether responsible adults should be making potential sacrifices in support of the actual sacrifices of children, who lack agency here.[/quote]
