[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids in APS and things don’t seem to be falling apart at all.

Interesting.[/quote]

I know tons of APS families down with COVID.  It’s spreading like crazy out there![/quote]

Highest levels aside from the omicron winter wave. [/quote]

And?  COVID will be here forever, and everyone will get it.  We've all had it and are done with any of this nonsense testing or restrictions. Living normal and not even thinking about it.[/quote]And it's super disruptive if tons of teachers and kids are out sick.  Do you shrug at a norovirus outbreak?  Just resign yourself to puking for three days?  I'm not gojng to stick my head in the sand and have my family catch covid and spend a week or more feeling awful.  We should all be outside as much as possible and masking inside with well fitting N95s/KN95s.  There's a wave right now.  Let's take sensible measures.[/quote]

I will never understand this “COVID will be here forever. Let’s throw our hands up and do nothing” narrative.  We know it’s going to be around, which is exactly why we should take the common sense measures you just described.

Would these people also not bother with cancer screenings or preventive efforts because cancer is going to be around forever?  It’s so nonsensical![/quote]

Interesting comparison.  Actually lots of people don't bother with cancer screenings or preventive efforts.  Humans are complicated and not robots.  Humans gather and despite how much you all scream that it's no big deal, it's not really a normal human experience to walk around wearing a mask all day or ask children to do so.  So they're not going to do it.

Humans are frustrating for sure.  In your spare time, you should collect all the smokers and morbidly obese Americans in a room and explain to them how nonsensical they are though.[/quote]
