[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I simply don't get it.  School-aged kids can mask.  Teaching them community responsibility is a good thing.  Teaching them to care about other students, their families and staff is a good thing.  If a child has SN and cannot wear one, it's one thing but given how many viruses are going around right now, it makes sense.  It's funny how the same parents screaming about learning loss when kids get sick are the same refusing masks and wanting accommodations for their kids when they are out sick.   I don't get why people enjoy being sick.  We've been so much healthier by masking, only eating outdoors, etc.[/quote]

And by "healthier" do you mean an overwhelming surge of RSV and the flu, so much so that hospitals told families not to bring their kids in?  [/quote]

Healthier as in we aren't getting the colds and flu's like we did in the past before covid... Our doctor office will not see us when we are sick and told to go to the ER. ER says they cannot help and sends  you back to primary care or a speciality clinic where if you are lucky you can get an appointment within 6-12 weeks. [/quote]

I’m not sure why you’d go to the doctor for a virus. There’s not much they can do that you can’t do on your own. But if your pediatrician really refuses to see sick kids (as opposed to simply expecting you to wait until there’s something more than just a typical viral infection going on), then you really need a new pediatrician. That’s not normal.[/quote]

Why would I go, because it always turns into an infection and something very serious and I have breathing issues!  We don't have the luxury of doctor choice.  You go to the assigned clinic when they can see you to who ever has an opening (often an unlicensed doctor or intern or you go to the ER.  Or, you can private pay.[/quote]

If the ER isn’t doing anything either, then it doesn’t sound very serious.

Further, what insurance do you have that doesn’t let you pick your PCP within their network? And where are you going that is having you see “unlicensed doctors”?[/quote]
