[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps you now understand why so many of the posts of parents with young kids have stated that they are losing their minds?

But yes, OP, it is as nerve wracking and near impossible as you are imagining. [/quote]

I've long opposed any of the so called mitigation measures for kids but this one is new in our school so I'm genuinely curious how it works in practice. We will prob pull them sadly and I'm seatching for another option [/quote]

Ahh, so you’re one of those people. [/quote]

Yes the OP epitomizes the selfishness that has exacerbated the pandemic for almost two years.  Cold like symptoms can indicate Covid.  The day care should be commended for taking mitigation measures to protect its staff and children under care and to minimize community spread.  [/quote]

Hate to break it to you but community spread is here. And everywhere. That's what happens with respiratory illness. We don't shut down the world for mild colds, which even you acknowledge this is. [/quote]

This is a worldwide pandemic not a normal mild cold.  It has killed over 825K  Americans.    Pediatric inflections and hospitalizations are at an all time high.   The described mitigation strategies are reasonable precautions.  If people were just more willing to follow the best scientific advice out there, some of the deaths and serious illnesses could have been avoided.  But, instead we whine.[/quote]

Out of those 825,000 Americans, 250 were kids aged 0-4 years.  That is 0.03% of the deaths.  Covid is killing unvaccinated adults, not preschoolers.[/quote]

But the kids are passing in on to those adults.  Also, we don’t know the full scope of possible long-term effects to kids.  A recent study showed an increase in diabetes among kids who had COVID.  This virus isn’t just a mild cold, it attacks many systems of the body—vascular, pulmonary, neurological, etc.  a mild cold may currently represent initial infection but time will tell how kids’ bodies respond to COVID in the long run.[/quote]

Ok. So kids can pass it onto adults. But the adults are out eating in restaurants, going on trips, going to house parties, etc. and also spreading it to other adults. It’s just that we make kids take responsibility by sacrificing their normal childhoods and education. So don’t come at me about community spread unless others are willing to sacrifice too.[/quote]

Adults should sacrifice too you a 🕳

Great. When we shut down the bars and cruise ships, let me know. [/quote]
