[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t isolate my kids at all. In fact, we made the huge decision to move to a state that was open so my kids could go to school. None of us got it, and my kids are objectively in a much better place socially and mentally than my friends’ kids who stayed in Virginia (and still aren’t in school full-time).

(aaand now cue the panic posting about how isolating kids is the morally superior thing to do, in order to justify adults’ pretty poor decisions  :roll: ) [/quote]

People who isolated back when information on the ground was sparse didn't make poor decisions.  They did the best they could with the info at hand.  And many people assessed the new info as it came out and adjusted as more was known. That is what intelligent people with common sense do.

Those of you who ignored the whole thing back when little was known weren't smarter or better parents.  You just got lucky.  Now shut up with parenting advice.  You don't have the chops to dispense it.

Some of us absolutely isolated when information was sparse and later chose to read the data ourselves and take calculated risks. I don’t think OP wishes she had carried on as normal. I think she, and others, are realizing that they were fed a diet of panic and were not as well informed as they thought.[/quote]
