You act as if people are rooting for this to be bad instead of recognizing it likely is.  Can you not tell the difference?[/quote]

DP. People were absolutely hoping Delta would be bad. I remember pages of gleeful posts from last summer predicting dead children in every school by Christmas if kids went back. You can't deny there is a group of disaster fetishists on DCUM that are overtly hoping for a disaster. That isn't everyone, but there is a solid group that seems to hope for mass death.[/quote]

Putting them aside, as I don't think there are hardly any people truly rooting for mass death - my question is how do we keep schools open with something causing massive outbreaks?  Will people be willing to have kids wear medical grade masks?  I know one district that provides this for all students and hospital grade air filtration, but of course not all districts have the resources.  Seems a lot of the federal funding should be directed at this during Omicron.[/quote]

We cannot stop it if people aren't masking and being cautious outside school.  So, it will run rapidly through the school and lots of kids and their families and communities will get sick.  Plan to get covid.[/quote]

Yes. We should all plan to get Covid. Even Fauci has said that. The trick is getting vaccinated first.

I always knew the pediatric vaccines would take more time. So I assumed my kids would get Covid before they’d be vaccinated, and I was fine with that given the small risk to them. Over the summer I thought things were looking up on the vaccine, and briefly thought they’d be vaccinated before finally catching Covid, but that is looking less and less likely now. And I’m still fine with that, except for the ridiculously long quarantine/isolation period.[/quote]

I'm not planning to get Covid.  If it happens, I won't be surprised, but it's not something I'm just going to throw my hands up and let happen.  [/quote]

Enjoy your basement then. Because that’s the only way you’re going to avoid being exposed.

On the bright side, if you’re vaccinated, there’s a good chance you’d never know you were infected.[/quote]

Ah the overdone basement trope...  Not everyone is a defeatist masquerading as a realist.  We understand that mass infection leads to further mutations and reinfections.  The end game isn't pretty.[/quote]

Yes, just like the flu pandemic of 1918-1920 didn't lead to the end of influenza.

It might not be pretty, but this is the reality we're in.[/quote]

A lot of you are banking on that, but it is just hopium.  [/quote]
