[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honey, things aren't normal in a pandemic. You need to figure out a way to deal with that. Please get therapy if this is a hard concept for you to handle. [/quote]

"in a pandemic" - but kids are having normal lunches in many places in the US and Europe.  So it's not "because of the pandemic" - we have people using our kids to chase Zero COVID, which is scientifically not possible.[/quote]

I myself are for letting Omicron rip - otherwise, we'll be doing these restrictions for the next 5 to 10 years. Everyone will be exposed to COVID repeatedly in their life, it's never going away, and delaying your exposure to it means your increasing your risk, considering the steep age stratification with COVID complications.

I know many parents are doing the "let it rip" strategy outside of school now. The COVIDians can put their kids in their blue K94 masks, keep their kids locked away and cause them mental problems, only to delay the inevitable.  We're done.[/quote]
Do you realize that many adults--including vaccinated adults--feel shitty for a solid week or two when they get COVID?  Sure, some are asymptomatic, but many breakthrough cases are comparable to a bad flu.   I wouldn't ignore a flu outbreak in a school just because I got a flu shot, and for the same reason I wouldn't ignore a COVID outbreak.  I don't want to spend my holiday break isolated and sick, nor do I want to burn through two weeks of my PTO being sick in February.  Being sick sucks.  Let's not "let it rip."  That sounds insanely stupid.  I'm not COVID anxious at all, but common sense measures to help keep people healthy and avoid huge outbreaks should remain in place.  [/quote]

So now no one can ever get sick again?!?  You'd prefer to stretch this out for 5 to 10 years, when COVID will be here forever.  EVERYONE WILL GET COVID.  It's only a matter of time.[/quote]

The rule is "not get sick".  It's no one can ever get the equivalent of a cold again.  Kids need to be masked and their development delayed until they become an adult.  We need 0 colds.[/quote]That's like saying I shouldn't wash my hands and should hang out with highly contagious people because it's inevitable I'm going to catch the flu and colds.  Of course not.  You should always try not to get sick [/quote]
