[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what if she gets covid?  Honestly.  I’m sure you never kept her isolated because you feared the flu or rsv or any other childhood illness.  Look at the death rates for covid vs flu.  Did you know flu has all the same wonky side effects that covid does.

Freaking out over a kid getting covid is ludicrous.  Let her have a life again.[/quote]

Some of us never stopped having lives, which we did with masks, outdoors and/or distancing, while the rest of you screamed and sobbed and tore your garments that your children were SUFFERING and HOSTAGES because you couldn't go about life as if the pandemic didn't exist   [/quote]

Agreed.  So many drama-queens on this thread.

Don't second guess yourself, OP, just move forward from here.  As another PP said, in the end this will be a blip in their lives.

And don't  listen to all these smug people who claim they "never" worried about the pandemic and it was fine blah blah blah.  They got lucky but now they are omniscient.  give me a break![/quote]

As we all know from the KFF poll, Black and Brown parents were more concerned about covid in kids bc their families and communities were harder hit.  Meanwhile covid didn’t even make the top ten concerns for White parents.  Says a lot about our country.

Actually, studies I read showed that college education level was the number one factor as to whether a family wanted their kids back in school. In fact, black college educated parents were the most likely to send their kids.

From talking to friends who teach at low income schools, the kids whose parents didn’t send them in person overlapped heavily with the parents who didn’t bother to send them to school on time or go to conferences or do much as parents in the before time. “Covid concerns” is a good cover up for not giving a shit.
