Second, the CDC is about to conveniently change their guidelines right as kids go back to school to favor…wait for it..NOT public health, but keeping low wage workers at work. Shocker![/quote]

Covid is a cold. People have been going to work and school with colds forever.[/quote]

Its not a cold.  Grow up already.[/quote]

It’s not far off if you’re vaccinated and boosted.[/quote]

I’m my experience, colds have generally been far more miserable. [/quote]

You were fortunate, not my  experience at all.[/quote]

I don't know about that. I think my experience was pretty common.[/quote]

I suspect the pp is the sort of person that acts like she’s on her deathbed every time she gets sick.[/quote]

I think you need some serious empathy lessons and don't care about anyone but yourself.  It is not mild for everyone.  [/quote]

From the person who wants the rest of the world to change their behavior so she doesn’t have to take responsibility for herself…  :roll: [/quote]

What are you talking about?   We are extremely careful and not the fake careful people pretend to be.   I want basic precautions.  That’s not unreasonable given how contagious this is.  [/quote]

There are certainly some posters here demanding ridiculous Covid policies on everyone because they won’t take whatever individual measures are necessary to protect themselves.  There's no reason for indefinite masking or quarantine policies at this point. [/quote]

Clearly you don’t get Covid and the high transmission rate.  Of course those of us concerned still mask but it’s not that simple in a large school with 1000+ students and staff.  [/quote]

You clearly don’t get that Covid is with us permanently.  You’re not going to escape it if you’re willing to rejoin society.

Permanent mask mandates and kicking healthy kids out of school aren’t going to change that.[/quote]

We do get its permanent and we have people like you to thank.  No, I'm not willing to get covid over and over again.  NO one is saying permanent mask mandates but given the high level of transmission and large schools, they make sense right now.  And, kids who have covid are not healthy.[/quote]

Stop being disingenuous about masks. Even when cases were low back in the spring posters like you were still wringing your hands about the removal of the mask mandate.  It will never be enough for you.[/quote]

I can’t tell if these people are being disingenuous or if they simply don’t understand covid. The PP’s post suggests she thinks we’re in a temporary situation with spread. That’s ridiculous. We have high immunity in the community right now due to vaccinations and infections. What we’re seeing now is the new baseline level of spread. And viruses rarely get less infectious over time, so we can and should expect this level to continue for the foreseeable future.

If you’re saying we should mask now, you’re effectively saying we should mask forever.[/quote]

No one thinks we are  in a temporary situation but people also don't want to get covid.  No one is saying masking forever either.   Is this the best you can do to get attention?  Look, you won.  There will be no precautions this school year.  So, don't complain when it spreads like wild fire and your kids are sick, teachers are out, staff are out, bus drivers are out.  We can thank you for the show it will be in the fall...

This new variant is far more contegous and you can get it multiple times.  Immunity lasts  6-8 weeks at best.[/quote]

And when it's not a sh*t show, are you going to come back and post about it? Or will you still be whining about the one anecdote you dug up on Twitter?[/quote]

I don't use Twitter, so no, I will not be posting anything about them.  It WILL be a show at least in the fall.  Number are up and we are in high transmission.  Even the military base is going to full masking now when they only had masking at the hospitals.[/quote]
