[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the rationale behind this.  Is it because it's a sleep away camp that you are looking to be super cautious?  For example, my kid is training with his current soccer team and it's full contact.  If he was to go play with a different group of kids, would the idea be to self quarantine before joining a different group of kids?  Because my kid plays soccer with a bunch of different groups of kids every week.  Every week, different kids come to the sessions that participates in.[/quote]

What don't you understand? We are the laughing stock of the world because we are prioritizing thinks like kids continuing to play soccer over defeating the virus. We are going to flush our economy down the toilet because of stupid individual choices like yours.[/quote]

Yes, we all miss sports and we all miss watching our kids play. But rushing things to normal because it is what we want will not be sustainable without a vaccine or effective treatments that can prevent hospitalization.[/quote]

You know the only way we get to herd immunity, and the only way we have ever achieved herd immunity is through vaccines. And I am willing to bet that you are the type of person who questions vaccines too.

Imagine in 2020 we have people arguing about wearing a mask, coming up with conspiracy theories that BIll Gates is funding vaccine development in order to implant a chip.

Even though you are the worst kind of selfish I still do not wish for you to get sick. I just wish it went both ways.

And none of what the article states means that it is wise, useful or risk free to go to a sleep away camp.

We are so close to being able to have a soccer season and dumb asses like you just want it all right now. While I believe in the six reasons to be optimistic the biggest obstacle is our own selfish behavior.

Perhaps this is the summer to forgo that vacation to Disney. Perhaps this is the summer that instead of a soccer sleep away camp perhaps spend that money on 1 on 1 training. Do you really want to be the parent who has to email the coach that your kid caught Covid shutting down practice for the team because she just had to have a sleepover?

The collective behavior of Covid deniers and "its only 1%" are just making this worse than it needs to be. Covid doesn't care about your  worn out talking points. Just modify your behavior, wear a mask and we will be back to a real normal more quickly than dragging your feet.

I'm altering my behavior for the greater good and that you are also benefiting from. I would really appreciate it if you would do the same for me, your team and the rest of us.

All I know, is if we don't have fall soccer it wasn't because I sent my kid to sleep away camp, spent the night at a bar or afternoon at a vineyard, ate out, went to a friends house for a indoor diner party or went to the beach for a week. [/quote]
